Summer lit its fierce flames in the countryside

أوقد الصيف في الصعيد لظاه

1. Summer lit its fierce flames in the countryside,
Parching the fields and meadows.

١. أَوْقَدَ الصَّيْفُ فِي الصَّعيدِ لَظَاهُ
فَأَجَفَّ الحُقُولَ والآجَامَا

2. People walked in dense, swirling dust storms
Billowing clouds of sand and gloom.

٢. وَغَدَا النَّاسُ بَيْنَ جَوٍّ كَثِيفٍ
مُتَرّدٍ مِنَ الْغُبَارِ غَمَامَا

3. The desert where the sands glared
With flashes and bursts of flame.

٣. وَفَلاَةٍ كَأَنَّمَا الرَّمْلُ فِيهَا
شَرَرٌ مُدَّ لَمْعَةً وَاضْطِرَامَا

4. The Nile water seemed to flow
At a slower pace, its face darkened.

٤. وَكَأَنَّ المِيَاهِ فِي النِّيلِ تَجْرِي
بِخُطىً أَبْطَأَتْ وَوَجْهٍ تَعَامَى

5. Like molten lead overflowing the pot,
Surging up then subsiding gently.

٥. شِبْهَ ذَوْبِ الرَّصَاصِ فِي الكِيرِ يَطْغَى
فإذَا مَا طَغَى بِرِفْقٍ تَرَامَى

6. Eyes grew tired and visions dimmed,
Seeing a reddish haze and darkness.

٦. وَعَرَا الأَعْيُنَ الْكَلالُ فَأَنَّى
نَظَرَتْ حُمْرَةً رَأَتْ وَقَتَامَا

7. Drowsiness crept through the land’s sinews,
Everything alive fell asleep.

٧. وَكَأَنَّ النُّعَاسَ فِي عَصَبِ اللأَرْ
ضِ تَمَشَّى فَكُلُّ مَا دَبَّ نَامَا

8. The pyramids built by the Copts
Seemed exhausted from standing.

٨. وَكَأَنَّ الدُّمَى الَّتِي صَنَعْتَهَا
أُمَّةُ القِبْطِ مُتْعَبَاتٌ قِيَامَا

9. A country whose charm was bleak and barren
Drew from you freshness and smiles.

٩. بَلَدٌ طُفْتِهِ جديباً كَئِيباً
فَارْتَوَى مِنْكِ نَضْرَةً وَابْتِسَامَا
