1. Oh you who have come with good intentions and care,
What news have you brought us from the great king and his whims?

2. Clarify for Egypt the difference
Between sovereignty and protection.

3. And remove doubts that
Have lingered since the beginning.

4. Leave the empty promises, for they
Were just stories in the past.

5. The lands of the Nile have become
A sultanate when once they were a state.

6. Take charge of it with reconciliation
And do right by it with guardianship.

7. We complain confidently to one who hears complaints,
We desire a free, guaranteed life under a flag,

8. And we aspire to an education that
Protects us from chaos.

9. We hope you do not hear
Slander and gossip about us.

10. You are the doctors of nations
And the noblest people is your goal.

11. How did you settle in this country
When reform is a sign for you?

12. The edifice of your glory was built
Above principles and guidance.

13. You were just, so you ruled the world,
And in justice alone is sufficiency.

14. If you support the oppressed,
We are the weakest of them in vengeance.

15. Or if you work for our welfare,
Then see it through to the end.

16. We have come of age,
Though misguidance precedes maturity.

17. Do not take us with words,
For there is no crime in complaining.

18. This is Hussein above the banks of the Nile,
Watched over by providence.

19. He is best to build for us,
So leave him be to rebuild.
