Abbas, O branch of generosity and nobleness

أعباس يا فرع المكارم والعلا

1. Abbas, O branch of generosity and nobleness
And the best of those in the shade of his father's protection

١. أَعَبّاس يا فرعَ المَكارمِ وَالعُلا
وَأَفضَلُ من في ظِلّ والِدِه سَما

2. You were absent from this land and came to it
So you were a bracelet when they were a wrist

٢. تَغَيَّبتَ عَن هذي البِلاد وَجِئتَها
فَكنتَ سِواراً حينَما كُنَّ مِعصَما

3. And you returned to Alexandria victorious
And found it a gap so you smiled

٣. وَعُدت إلى الإِسكِندِريَّةِ غانِماً
وَأَلفَيتَها ثَغراً فَكنتَ تَبَسُّما

4. And you are to me of great worth, refused condolences
The return of May water has healed a wound

٤. وَأَنت عَلِيَّ القَدرِ أُبتَ معزَّرا
إِيابَ نَميرِ الماءِ وافى على ظَما

5. So you both continue as two full moons, light and glory
Adorning, throughout the ages, the kingdom of your father

٥. فَلا زِلتُما بَدرَين نوراً وَرِفعةً
تَزينان طولَ الدَهر مُلكَ أَبيكُما
