1. When honored Egypt welcomes her guest
Is it strange that the guest is honored in Egypt

2. O you whom we are honored by your presence
And fail to fulfill our duty of gratitude

3. The pillars of culture and wisdom salute you
With the best greetings from the people of remembrance

4. And the masters of rhetoric cite verses
About your stature from poetry and prose

5. Would a generous one from the Arabs forget the merit of what
You have spent your life renewing

6. You have prepared for the people of DAD
A precious heritage that has no equal

7. And you have made the sea of knowledge flow from its spring
So you have been blessed by a sea and blessed by a spring

8. May God shepherd you in every abode
From the East you know what glory you have attained
