1. No flame has ever risen towards the sun to be guided,
Can a symbol fulfill what cannot be fulfilled?

2. Your efforts and opinions cannot sufficiently repay
The Rightful King who sacrificed Himself.

3. Any gratitude is inadequate for His greater giving,
The rays you bear are but drops from Him.

4. The excellence of the Pioneering Farouq encompassed the East,
Praise is never exhausted, streams of words flow endlessly.

5. Lebanon is peerless in its loyalty,
What has it restored and initiated therein!

6. It sent the flame that met with Egypt’s flame,
Bringing their affection and amity ever greater.

7. Every light fades, but theirs in remembrance
Outlasts all lights, ever enduring and guided.

8. O people of Egypt, O people of the emphatic D!
God has granted you sound guidance in authority.

9. You have united in success, and for you
Dawn’s light has shone, heralding good fortune.

10. Farouq’s era was an age of prosperity,
And it has returned as an age of prosperity.

11. God protect the guardian who tended it,
Who protected its basin and never wearied.

12. A unique ruler in reform, reforming,
Justice, true resolve and constant support.

13. He guides the rightly guided, the highest leader
Of Egypt’s people and army.

14. O king whose birth brought good tidings
To the future, and promise of progress,

15. On his anniversary, honors were renewed
As the year crowned him with its jewels.

16. Has the East, since first graced with feasts,
Seen a festival more radiant and glorious?

17. Live sublime, enjoy lengthened life,
And attain the twin goals of prestige and glory!
