1. Journey, O my two full moons in the sky of eminence,
And go to meet excellence, do not set.

2. Journey to the cradle of knowledge,
Which was ours, then time made it decline.

3. Journey to the land that produced
Glory and became home to the eminent.

4. Time walks on it subjugated,
And events quake to descend on it.

5. The motto of its people and sons
Is that one knows and acts.

6. So adorn glory with the light of righteousness,
And beautify fame by perfecting it.

7. And compete for the most high, and hold on
To the bond of patience, do not rush.

8. And inform the West and its sons,
That we are the undaunted men.

9. If time turns its back on us tomorrow,
The turner back must turn again.

10. You two remain branches in an orchard
That shades those who hoped and wished.

11. Egypt raised you, and a generous father
Reared you until you excelled.

12. He passed away after granting you a favor,
So do not misuse it or be stingy.

13. God's mercy be upon a father
Who provided you esteem amongst the eminent.
