1. O moment of Eid, what did you see
In this standing of ours

2. Of all that Egypt ever created
In its type or genre?

3. It excelled in ornaments and crafts
And taste perfected its arrangement

4. In the eye, a tear that joy permits today to shed
For shadow has shrunk

5. Cast on the rain its drizzle
And the star of bliss rises

6. To unveil that screen
A speech supported until

7. You wished, O Egypt, to spend it
To God your people march

8. Truly and steady their advance
Only does the people do justice

9. When they validate its half
A precious opening congratulated

10. In the opening of this chamber
