1. Afraid don't be far away for ages
You are the immortal martyr of remembrance
١. أَفَرِيدُ لاَ تَبْعَدْ عَلَى الأَدْهَارِ
أَنْتَ الشَّهيدُ الْخَالِدُ التَّذْكَارِ
2. With family, with blood, with prosperity, with wealth
You ransomed Egypt and ransomed from home
٢. بِالأَهْلِ بِالدمِ بِالرَّفَاهَةِ بِالغِنى
فَدَّيْتَ مِصْرَ وَفَدَّيْتَ مِنْ دَارِ
3. You liberated yourself, constantly striving
To liberate it so it gains might after weakness
٣. حَرَّرْتَ نَفْسَكَ دَائِبَ المَسْعَى إِلى
تَحْرِيرِهَا لِتُعِزَّ بَعْدَ صَغَارِ
4. Moving ahead while time is in its ascendance
Retreating while time is in its descent
٤. مُسْتَرْسِلاً وَالدَّهْرُ فِي إِقْبَالِهِ
مُسْتَبْسِلاً وَالدَّهْرُ فِي الإِدْبَارِ
5. Steadfast when the resolute faltered
Of public and secret in agreement
٥. ثَبْتاً إِذَا مَا الرَّاسِخونَ تَقَلْقَلُوا
مُتَوَافِقَ الإِعْلاَنِ وَالإِسْرَارِ
6. So you vindicated the covenant you pledged
And fulfilled in ease and unease
٦. فَبَرَرْتَ بِالْعَهْدِ الَّذِي عَاهَدْتَهُ
وَوَفَيْتَ فِي الإِيسَارِ وَالإِعْسَارِ
7. That life was but a gift
Connected in intimacy to the dawns
٧. مَا كَانَ ذَاكَ الْعُمْرُ إِلاَّ قُرْبَة
مَوْصُولَةَ الآصَالِ بِالأَسْحَارِ
8. And from death what is not its right fulfilled
Until giving becomes with lives
٨. وَمِنَ المُنَى مَا لَيْسَ يُوفَى حَقُّهُ
حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْجَودُ بِالأَعْمَارِ
