1. We are Egypt's sons, were it not for our victory
In attaining the heights of its glory, we would not have appeared

2. Indeed, the secret of the Almighty is a wondrous secret
It has guided us to the paths of righteousness, so we succeeded

3. Staying up nights to gain supreme virtues
We followed his path and stayed up

4. The truthful promise, the foremost of bliss, our Master
His felicitating us with it came true, so we took pride

5. And when it was said who in Egypt was its people
They hastened to the heights, we pointed to him

6. And we raced in the throngs of competition, running
And we raced to the farthest point and emerged victorious

7. How much we unfurled the carpet of might and glory
Which was once folded up, so we spread it out

8. May God grant you long life, if you wish to test
Our fields of precedence, then test us

9. The Khedive has inspired us to glory's honor
With his beautiful praise of him we took initiative

10. He distinguished us with his love's most splendid favor
So we strung pearls of poetry and prose for him

11. And we asked for the state of might to be preserved
And for its permanence, and declared so out loud

12. We are all thankful, so O bliss record
With kindness you rewarded us, so we thanked
