1. حَل السُعود بِمِصرِنا وَاِزينت

    وَالمَوكِب السامي سراج سُرورِها

    Good fortune has alighted in our Egypt, and she is adorned;

    And the lofty procession is the lamp of her joy.

  2. قَد شَرَفَ القُطر الخديو فَمِصره

    سَمَت البَدور بَل الشُموس بِنورِها

    The Khedive has honored the land, so his Egypt

    has surpassed the full moons—nay, the suns—with her radiance.
