1. Speak, O happy hero
And detail what you want and aspire

2. Describe what you seek to achieve
Describe your glorious deeds

3. And how the crowds flocked to you
And what the delegations wished for

4. You opened the path piercing the wilderness
To populate it and bring the far closer

5. Goodness followed you on a path
Where fire and iron flow

6. And people stood by its sides
Like soldiers rallying around their leader

7. You stood addressing them in Menouf
The countryside roared and the Upper Egypt shook

8. The air buzzed with all kinds of news
Where is lightning compared to it and post

9. And the furthest regions heard what I show them
As if they are your attending witnesses

10. You filled the land with prosperity and fertility
And your journey in the sky continues tomorrow

11. You fly in it with your trusted eagles
And black lions

12. Egypt is the epitome of every past
You see and the foregathering place of future nations

13. So what did that guest miss from it
When he greeted its coasts loitering

14. You reciprocated his greetings with benevolence
And your action was sanctioned by wise opinion

15. And he was replaced in every soul
Even if that was resented by the cautious envious one

16. The borders of a kingdom are futile
If not from the awe of the mighty king

17. Minister of the people and the valued crown
Meeting you is a season and your approval a celebration

18. You tackled issues with purity
And your rule was supported by justice itself

19. Can a gang emerge from your protection
When you entrusted your state to the Indians

20. They blame you for establishing regulators
On the Nile, the barrages and the dams

21. So overflow does not dominate the inhabited land
And the wronged do not complain to you

22. And order avoids mayhem
And unity is reconciled after separation

23. And the tyrant voluntarily works for you
And how much hostility did you endure from him

24. The opponents called for supreme freedom
They are slaves to their world

25. If they were reasonable, they would rest
From fatigue under a sultan that does not regress

26. Your address surpassed them so they took it lightly
And it is right for them to be harshly blamed

27. Who can intercede before you for a suspicious one
He cannot intercede for one who harbors malice

28. If they get angry at you, you are pleased
With your work, perfecting and increasing it

29. You are not equal in status to be disgraced with them
Even if your terms were difficult and restrictive

30. You did not neglect caring for them but
Insisted on enduring their enmity

31. You did not ignore a treatment for their aggression
But perhaps threats could be beneficial

32. They asked me for a flaw but I failed them
So they claimed I benefited

33. And what pact did you not fulfill
In this age of worthless covenants and pacts

34. Is it forbidden for one you chose
To live the blissful life for this nation

35. Does anyone suffer in your golden era
As they wished upon me, the rightly guided one

36. They rejected my old title and denied it
Until my new title came to them

37. My poems, if you wish, are songs
That delight, and if you wish, rumbling thunder

38. And if I became despicable to them
I am still the praiseworthy devout to you

39. You did not task me with war against them
My aloofness and distancing is enough for them

40. I am your most loyal supporter established
For you are the confidant and poetry is eternal
