لاحَت شُموسُ السَعد بِالاِقطار

لاحَت شُموسُ السَعد بِالاِقطار

وَجلت عَروس الاِنس لِلابصار

وَجلت عَروس الاِنس لِلابصار

The suns of good fortune shone across the lands.

The suns of good fortune shone in the regions,

And the bride of joy stood unveiled before the eyes.

And the bride of humankind appeared to sights.

وَاِستَبشَرَت مِصر المُنى بِقُدومِهِ

وَاِستَبشَرَت مِصر المُنى بِقُدومِهِ

حُسن الخَلائِقِ غرة الاِنوار

حُسن الخَلائِقِ غرة الاِنوار

And Egypt of hopes rejoiced at his arrival:

Egypt rejoiced at his arrival,

Beauty of character, the radiant brow of lights.

The best of manners, the essence of lights.

كَم ذا توشح بِالدجنة صُبحها

كَم ذا توشح بِالدجنة صُبحها

مُذ كانَ مِن شَمس المَكارِمِ عارى

مُذ كانَ مِن شَمس المَكارِمِ عارى

How long her dawn was cloaked in darkness,

How long has its dawn been adorned with luxury,

Since it was bereft of the sun of noble virtues.

Since it was bare of the sun of great deeds?

لَو لِلدِّيارِ فَم لقالَت مَرحَبا

لَو لِلدِّيارِ فَم لقالَت مَرحَبا

بُشرى بِنير عزتي وَمدارى

بُشرى بِنير عزتي وَمدارى

If the lands had a mouth, they would say, "Welcome!

If the lands had a mouth, it would say "Welcome!"

Glad tidings of the luminary of my glory and my orbit!"

Good tidings of my might and orbit!

قَد أَقبَلَت بِالبِشر دَولَتك الَّتي

قَد أَقبَلَت بِالبِشر دَولَتك الَّتي

هِي تاج آمالي وَعَين فُخارى

هِي تاج آمالي وَعَين فُخارى

Your reign has come with gladness—the reign that

Your state, which is the crown of my hopes

Is the crown of my hopes and the essence of my pride.

And the apple of my pride, has come with glad tidings.

لازِلت بَدرا بِالسُعود متوجا

لازِلت بَدرا بِالسُعود متوجا

ما اِهتَزَّ غُصن في صبا الاِسحار

ما اِهتَزَّ غُصن في صبا الاِسحار

May you ever remain a full moon crowned with good fortune,

You remain a full moon crowned with fortune

As long as a branch sways in the dawn's east wind.

As long as no branch stirs in the breeze of dawn.
