Greet the president with fairness and honor

حيوا الرئيسة إنصافا وتكرمة

1. Greet the president with fairness and honor
O you who carry the banner of knowledge and literature

١. حَيُّوا الرَّئِيسَةَ إنْصَافاً وَتَكْرِمَةً
يَا حَامِلِينَ لِوَاءَ العِلْمِ وَالأَدَبِ

2. Among an elite who are the pride of the West when named
And an elite who are the pride of the East and Arabs

٢. مِنْ نُخْبَةٍ هُمْ فَخَارُ الغَرْب إِنْ نُعِتُوا
وَنُخْبَةٍ هُمْ فَخَارُ الشَّرْقِ وَالعَرَبَ

3. Greet a young woman whom God has perfected her adornment
In nature and morals with what rises above doubt

٣. حَيُّوا فَتَاةً أَتّمَّ اللهُ زَينَتَهَا
خَلْقاً وَخُلْقاً بِمَا يَسْمُو عَنِ الرِّيَبِ

4. She passes by vanity not tempted by its ornamentation
And spends her time between books and manuscripts

٤. تَمُرُّ بِاللَّهْوِ لاَ تُغْرَى بِزُخْرُفِهِ
وَتُنْفِقُ العُمْرُ بَيْنَ الصُّحْفِ وَالكُتُبِ

5. Until she became an exemplar in the era of righteousness
For the young women of dedication and diligence

٥. حَتَّى غَدَتْ قُدْوَةً فِي العَصْرِ صَالِحَةٍ
لِلْغَانِيَاتِ ذَوَاتِ الجِدِّ وَالدَّأَبِ

6. She appeared protected from corruption and aloofness
So if the dawn misses a star, let it miss!

٦. بَدَتْ مِنَ الخِدْرِ وَالعَلْيَاءُ عَاصِمَةٌ
فَإِنْ يَعِبْ نَجْماً الإِشْرَاقُ فَلْتُعَبِ

7. Among friends she shone with a system of guidance
Thus she showed us the system of the steadfast sun

٧. بَيْنَ الصَّوَاحِبِ لاَحَتْ فِي نِظَامِ هُدًى
فَأَشْهَدَتْنَا نِظَامَ الشَّمسِ عَنْ كَثَبِ

8. And what guidance is there when it unveils from its rays
Except praise for untainted intelligence?

٨. وَمَا هُدى حِينَ تَجْلُو عَنْ أَشِعَّتِهَا
إِلاَّ مُحَيَّا ذُكَاءٍ غَيْرَ مُنْتَقَبِ

9. She has her supreme message with which she enlightens
The paths of life and how the light penetrates barriers

٩. لَهَا رِسَالَتُهَا العُلْيَا تُنِيرُ بِهَا
سُبْلَ الحَيَاةِ وَكَيْفَ النُّورُ فِي الحُجُبِ

10. Facing her, from her disciples, are comets
Purer and more immaculate than pearls

١٠. حِيَالَهَا مِنْ حَوَارِيَّاتَهَا شُهُبٌ
أَنْقَى وَأطْهَرُ مِنْ دُرِّيَّة الشُّهبِ

11. They go seeking goals resolutely
Without complaining or moaning from effort

١١. يَمْضِينَ فِي طَلَبِ الغَايَاتِ قَاصِيَةً
فَمَا يَنِيْنَ وَمَا يَشْكُونَ مِنْ نَصَبِ

12. They are the vanguard invading without sin
The regiments of ignorance in a war without war

١٢. هُمُ الطَّليعَةُ تَغْزُو غَيْرَ آثِمَةٍ
كَتَائِبَ الجَهْلِ فِي حَرْبٍ بِلاَ حَرَبِ

13. Who can forget, if Egypt and its renaissance are mentioned
The aid of the honorable young women to the esteemed youth

١٣. مَنْ يَنْسى إِنْ ذُكِرَتْ مِصْرٌ وَنَهْضَتُهَا
عَوْنَ النَّجيبَاتِ لِلصُّبابَةِ النُّجبِ

14. That excellent participation, our hopes are entrusted with it
In our aspirations, may it not disappoint!

١٤. تِلْكَ المُشَارَكَةُ الحُسْنَى يُنَاطُ بِهَا
رَجَاؤُنَا فِي مَعَالِينَافَلاَ يَخِبِ
