1. You are the epitome of saffron, O palace
Fit to wander amongst the stars

2. Both your eras are the pride of generations
Glory for the present and antiquity

3. Yesterday you harbored majesty and glory
Today you are the abode of science

4. From nobility to everlasting glory
To knowledge, to widespread benefit

5. You have added to the edifices of knowledge, an edifice
With the chastity of that wise king

6. What an expansive, private, beautiful dwelling
Built by fingers of exquisite taste

7. Surrounded by an elegant garden
Whose beauty shows you the face of bliss

8. Oh Abu Farouk you have bestowed this
Upon Egypt, such are the gifts of the generous

9. No wonder, for Egypt is loyal
And her owner has great character

10. He looks after her with kindness each day
With the eye of a merciful father

11. And he is attentive to Egypt's resolutions
When faced with grave affairs

12. You have clothed the bustling Azhar
With a garment of veneration and lasting glory

13. You have fulfilled the prayer duty in it, it almost boasts
With its visitors at the corner of the Sacred House

14. The revered one saw in you a loftier time
Its foundations upon the eternal scroll

15. So he shook and trembled with yearning and fervor
As the confidant trembles for the confidant

16. And all who were in it cheered
And your people's voices rumbled like thunder

17. Thus should the crowns be borne by a king
Who venerates the sacraments of the upright religion

18. And fears His Lord and obeys his Master
Who guided him to the Straight Path

19. Does the benevolent king permit that I
Congratulate Egypt for the noble event?

20. So O Egypt, prostrate to Allah in gratitude
Be dazed and sit enthralled, and stand tall

21. For the building is complete, and soon
Good tidings will blow your way from the breeze

22. The honorable House of Parliament
Built for the seeker of widespread glory

23. The redeemed throne is adorned by it
And Egypt lives in comfortable prosperity

24. Grace it with your Lord and seal it
And make it prosperous with a perfect constitution

25. With the signs of Muhammad and Jesus
Protect it and the signs of the Sublime

26. Oh Abu Farouk, take the hopes by the hand
And realize them despite the opponent

27. We awoke after a deep slumber
Upon a sleep like the Companions of the Cave

28. And by your auspices we awoke to a revival
That equals the sprouting of bountiful vegetation

29. We alight every day with care
We circle you with lasting loyalty
