1. O Copts, O sons of Egypt, in secret
You were good in ease and adversity

2. We and you have lost a great man
Who was yesterday the jewel of nobles

3. We mourned him in every club
With a mournful voice of weeping

4. We mixed our tears with tears
Shed by your eyes out of generosity

5. And we saw how reason took revenge on ignorance
And how the wise reacted to misfortune

6. May God bless you, you are the people of loyalty
If the people of loyalty are counted

7. Tears that exceeded any sorrow
And crossed the limits of any consolation

8. And many after any imagination
And wailing after any delight

9. If you ascended to the stars
You would have blamed the stars of Gemini

10. Your excuse is that Peter was in Egypt
Great in virtue, perfect in nobility

11. Lessen your screaming, in Egypt there are no enemies
For the sons of Egypt

12. The religion of Jesus is in you and the religion of his brother
Ahmad command us with brotherhood

13. And how can Christians be like this
Be pious and innocent of the Virgin

14. Egypt is you and us unless discord
Causes of misery separate us

15. Egypt is ours if we stick together
Otherwise, Egypt will be for strangers

16. Do not obey those among us and you
Who sowed between us seeds of estrangement

17. Do not turn your faces from those
Who doubted what is in our hearts of purity

18. The religion of Christ commands noble character
And prohibits the trait of ignorant fools

19. Let none of us be an enemy to another
God curse those who make lawful violence

20. O killer, drink death as a cup
In the prime of youth and fading bloom

21. If we could inflict something harsher than murder
You would get it as punishment
