لُبابُ تَكَبَّري فَوقَ الجَواري

لُبابُ تَكَبَّري فَوقَ الجَواري

فَإِنَّ أَباكِ أَعتَبَهُ الزَمانُ

فَإِنَّ أَباكِ أَعتَبَهُ الزَمانُ

Lubab, hold yourself proudly above the maidens,

Your pride towers above the maidens

Lubab, walk proudly high above the maidens,

For time has made amends to your father.

For time has chastened your father

For Time has made amends unto your father.

مَتى أَجمَع أَبا نَصرٍ وَمِصراً

مَتى أَجمَع أَبا نَصرٍ وَمِصراً

فَما لِلدَهرِ بَينَهُما مَكانُ

فَما لِلدَهرِ بَينَهُما مَكانُ

Whenever I bring Abu Nasr and Egypt together,

Whenever I bring together Abu Nasr and Egypt

When I unite Abu Nasr with the land of Egypt,

There is no place for time between them.

Time has no place between them

Fate finds no room to intervene between them.

فَتىً يَوماهُ لي فِطرٌ وَأَضحى

فَتىً يَوماهُ لي فِطرٌ وَأَضحى

وَنَيروزٌ يُعَدُّ وَمِهرَجانُ

وَنَيروزٌ يُعَدُّ وَمِهرَجانُ

A young man whose two days are, for me, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha,

A youth whose days are for me a Feast of the Breaking of the Fast and the Day of Immolation

A youth whose days are to me both Fitr and Adha,

And Nowruz and Mihragan are counted too.

And Nayruz counted as a festival

Reckoned as Nayruz and as Mihrajan.
