1. The imam's messengers set out at dawn
Bearing Egypt its refreshing peace

2. You have opened many paths to us, so you have chosen
The sky as your arena and refuge

3. Veer towards the sacred valley and descend
Upon a land that overflows for you with dew and clemency

4. If you land upon its towers and palaces
You have already conquered its spirits beforehand

5. With wings of iron you have flown to protect
A beloved land that wished it could become winds

6. And you have spanned the horizons which are a scroll
Upon which proofs are illuminated loudly

7. And you have seen the homelands around your orbits
Yearning mountains and lowlands

8. And you have come close while time is a staircase after
The protectors had filled existence with struggle

9. You are more deserving of your homeland’s blossoms that
Has become permitted to all people

10. And you have known its children as your brothers
And its prince of ready help

11. The Nile wishes that it could flow to
Its brothers the Tigris and Euphrates in haste

12. O people of the conquests of past times enough
With the sword after your swords opened the way

13. Welcome is your new era restoring
That towering glorious past

14. I saw your enemy fear you
So he fulfilled his duties and the star of the East shone

15. If you take care to keep the rest of your kingdom
You will regain what was lost from it and fell

16. And you preceded the most noble of nations and shepherded
The aspirations of kings in ambition and desire

17. The wishes I confided are truthful
So I came to you voicing them loudly

18. And I witnessed your parade prepared for them
So I witnessed the attainable hope

19. And I heard your talk of the water of life
So I drank ease from this talk

20. I am one whose heart you knew to be flaming
Free in opinion and frank in expression

21. Aswan in a land deprived of its spring
And met the flames of its summer afflicted

22. If this yearning carried its own yearning
It would become salty in your sea routes

23. To see noble qualities in glorious leaders
And see faces of glorious chiefs

24. And to recover there my deposit
From time and avoid the combative

25. So pass the breeze to whisper devotedly
Though separation refuses to be soothed

26. How it spent the night listening to a flashing light
Speaking of you and asking a flashing guide

27. And if its refusal and loyalty to you
Became swords they would be blades and spears

28. This is the greeting of a poet who sang it
For you and was surprised by success so he sighed

29. They filled the cups with poison after
I saw my days stingy towards me

30. The joys in my mind
Returned to sickness of dejection and wounds

31. Fate pulled out the rashness of a pounding heart
Accustomed to sorrow and afflictions

32. And a raging storm blew against the eagles
Exhausting them with might and prolonged flapping

33. Casting them down after they were serious
Seeking refuge and jested with him

34. They fell on deaf rock, if only they had fallen
On sincere minds - crash! crash!

35. Theymimicked Salah al-Din then plotted
To raise Damascus while their abode was the plain

36. The notables did not fall to the swords
Save so the successors would attain success

37. How many sacrificing their homelands watered the soil
With their precious blood, growing reform

38. Tending to heroes who passed away after
Lifting the veil and igniting the lamp

39. Their brothers - the path is paved
Take it by air or take it on the ground

40. And even if your blood healed your enemies
How many killers did their blood produce

41. So take the revenge of men and seize
This era for confessing and raving
