1. جَناب الخَديو عاد في مَصر فَاِزدَهى

    سُروراً بِأَهل السَعد فَاِبتَهَجت مَصر

    His Highness the Khedive returned to Egypt and exulted,

    in joy with the people of good fortune; and Egypt rejoiced.

  2. وَقَد أَشرَقَت مَصر وَراقَت بِمَجدِها

    بعود الخديو مِن مراد بهِ البش

    And Egypt shone and grew fair in her glory,

    at the Khedive’s return from Murad, with gladness attending him.

  3. وَثَغر اِغتِنام الغَوث يَدنو مُؤرِخاً

    قُدوم الخديو سادَ سَعد بِهِ اليسر

    And the lips of one gaining succor draw near, proclaiming the date:

    The Khedive’s arrival—good fortune prevailed, and through him came ease.
