1. Your noble father raised you on piety
And on integrity and a pure conscience

2. So you were brought up with care and attention
And you excelled in praises and glories

3. And you rose, O eminent one, to the height of glory
And you outshone your people with rare intelligence

4. Your father cultivated our minds and souls
So congratulate your faithful and glorious father

5. And congratulate what you have been given of blessing
In the reign of our illustrious Prince

6. O you who fills the throne with awe
And competence, O delight of the beholder

7. Indeed, the one you have been entrusted with is in need
Of strong resolve that pushes ahead and wise strategy

8. So spread your light throughout governance
And take control of matters with the grip of the Able

9. And serve your country with what you have been given
Of shrewdness, and minimize the flaws of the flawed

10. I congratulated Egypt, its Nile, and its men
When I saw you in the clothes of the commander

11. And I saw your high status in the diwan
And people chanting fragrant praise

12. Among those acknowledging your merit overtly
Or beseeching blessings and thanks for you

13. Greetings O blessed Nile engineer
From an Egypt that a poet's greeting extols

14. Praying your God to multiply among us
The likes of eminent Sami in the present time
