Sol 6.1

  1. يا عزيزا يسعى لعز الرعايا

    فله تجزل الثناء الناس

    O mighty one who strives for his subjects’ honor,

    The people therefore lavish praise upon him.

  2. إن آباءك الكرام بمصر

    خير من مدّنوا البلاد وساسوا

    Indeed, your noble forefathers in Egypt

    Are the best of those who civilized and governed the land.

  3. تلك آثارهم تدل مدى الدهـ

    ـر عليهم كأنهم نبراس

    Those are their monuments, bearing witness throughout the ages

    To them, as though they were a beacon.

  4. أنت أحييتها وشاهد صدق

    بالنوايا الحسان هذا الأساس

    You have revived them; and a true witness

    To noble intentions is this foundation.

  5. ولسان السعود قد قال أرّخ

    خير دار بني لنا العباس

    And the tongue of good fortune has said, “Record the date:

    Abbas has built us the finest house.”
