1. Greetings of reverence are offered to
The light of guidance, pride of the East

2. A leader whose fame is immortal
In her victory for truth and right

3. She achieves her aims
With reason, wisdom and care

4. Can she reform the world and half the globe
Free under her and half still enslaved

5. She sacrifices lives seeking ransom
And spares no treasure

6. It is enough, pride that her hopes
Are for lofty satisfaction and accord

7. Your covenant, O our chosen pioneer
Is among God's blessings upon creation

8. It gleaned no glamour from falsehood
And inspired the eulogist with truth

9. Was any fountain of good left unsought
By you, a cloud encompassing the land?

10. You submitted to the Almighty King
Who regulates the Nile and all it waters
