1. O Zaghloul, the people pray to God
That the Nile may gain independence by your hand

2. He who sneaked in to assassinate you
Was guarded against by Gabriel

3. Will Saad die before we live through him?
Great sorrows upon Egypt's sons!

4. O Saad you are the greatest equipment
We have stockpiled to charge with and climb high

5. You are the truest arrow we shoot
So march on and aim straight though arrows are few

6. The eagle hopes to hunt on our land
Zaghloul will show him how he is hunted

7. We have misled them with twisted warnings
Away from the Nile valley's intent, nothing deters it

8. With our harshest and earliest well-versed
In enduring adversity and fight we persist

9. With a man whole of heart, undivided
Though the pyramids tilt, they will not tilt him

10. Negotiate and do not lower your wing in humiliation
The enemy's weapon is broken

11. Negotiate while you sit exalted
Yours is the station of reverence and honor

12. Negotiate, behind you a nation has sworn
It will not sleep while hostile troops occupy the land

13. Though isolated, they are fiercely resistant in battle
Unshaken by military or naval forces

14. Our navy stands for honesty, our army reason's proof
Our war is not incited by spears and swords

15. Like war incited by passion and minds unwise
Wage it there with certainty armored

16. God will surely grant manifest victory
Their leader wears arms while our leader

17. Holds but a handkerchief
Yet that handkerchief strikes truer

18. Than a sharpened sword of delusions
You have a stand in the East known to the high

19. Surrounded by magnification and praise
Rock it in the West to humble all arrogant

20. To see and know what the unknown conceals
Do not approach the Thames beware its return

21. However sweet it may appear to you
Poison is blended in its purest water

22. And smooth, melted malice in it dissolves
How many came to its water before you Saad

23. Only to return from it with rancor in heart
That people have taken reign of their time

24. With narratives to it and phases
With clever guiles when deployed

25. They hunt peacocks, taking reason captive
Beware their politics and remain wakeful Saadi

26. Wakefulness, Saad indeed politics are deceit
If they depict, let imagination go

27. For against reality, depictions fail
In politics' view, yards are leagues

28. In politics' orbit, a day is an epoch
In their lexicons, for every word

29. There is a meaning claimed reasonable
Their politics have ripened and its dye is fixed

30. Every falsehood has its ways and means
They gathered clever tricks and configured

31. What they did, while you possess analysis
O Saad you are our leader and deputy

32. On you lies our trust before our King
Repel and fight for the demands of a nation

33. O Saad you are accountable before it
The Nile's source and mouth are ours

34. It cannot be diverted from our land
It trusted you with unfailing trust

35. No doubts or suspicions can permeate
It made your place in hearts into love

36. Or after that, loyalty's proof
It nearly died when you were wounded and betrayed

37. Patience in bearing adversities is beautiful
None remain in it but those who pray

38. To their Lord for you, and their prayers are accepted
O Saad, the feast nearly became a funeral

39. On your account, tears freely flow
Had God not defended, misfortunes would have collapsed

40. When you collapsed, and hopes been severed
Paralyzed are the fingers of he who shot you

41. For your palm, deadly aim, and for your palm, a kiss
This is your medal above your chest without peer

42. Among the medals of pride ever made
You have adorned it with sincere, pure blood

43. Freely shed in Egypt's love and care
In every age, criminals repeat their crime

44. It does not disappear through time
They schemed against Omar the Just who judged us

45. And purified his opinion by the Revelation
And Ali, the purest of mouth and hand

46. The drawn sword of our prophet
Stop, orator of the East, renew our pact

47. Before departure, to cut off misinterpretation
Negotiate, and if you sense evil, stand resolute

48. And sever ties, for your rope is guided
And return us with dignity, robed

49. Crowned with its blossoms
We will work toward deliverance and not despair

50. And God will judge between us and elucidate
How many states did morning witness thriving

51. Then night came upon them, remnants and ruins
How many towering palaces in the darkness

52. Dawn rose upon them empty and bare
O noble youth, greetings

53. Like a garden, blossoms rain upon you
O Egypt's flower, jewel, and protector

54. My praise of you after the president is redundant
You found her with your soul in youth's roses

55. The roses were not seen wilting
How many prisoners and fighters for her

56. Spilled blood on her streets
Follow the president's path and accomplish

57. The nation's hopes, for you are all trusted
You are the men of tomorrow, and tomorrow

58. Has kept faith, so face it reverently, lengthen yourselves
