1. Return, O young man, to roam the valleys among the villages
For your day after yesterday is a feast

2. And meet on every side hospitality and welcome
In every district you desire and seek

3. And memories bring back the martyrs
For they are present among the gathered witnesses

4. Defeat knew well what you will attain
And still grows strong around it and increases

5. And realizes what you conceal and what you proclaim
No promise or threat made it waver

6. Is there anyone who has these hearts loving him
Like the one who has fire and iron for himself?

7. Can you repel the killer while he is armed
With forts of isolation below him and armies?

8. Can you repel cries without sympathy
Even if in his hearing they are like thunder?

9. Can Egypt expel the occupier while around it
Are raiders near emulating those far?

10. After the protectors have paved the way for a conqueror
Can boundaries repel a conqueror and borders?

11. There is no unity among the workers
Nor sound opinion among the speakers

12. Do I grieve for a nation from financial crises
While disasters of enmity against it are black?

13. Indeed, I do not know if Egypt's masters
Are Egypt's sons or slaves of the settler

14. And every day there is a change of role for the stranger
Is there anything new in the turn of today?

15. Did the delegate change what yesterday's
Depraved conduct, long-standing, established?

16. If he loosened a bond on their wrath taming them
No bond in the kingdom remained loosened by him

17. We treat him with blame sometimes, and sometimes approval
Hoping one of the two will benefit

18. He is but watching with his nets
Deceiving or strongly refusing contact

19. Have all leaderships in Egypt then failed?
And were its equipment and troops found wanting?

20. The one prepared for his right does not worry
That his opponent is stubborn with his argument

21. One who led a group not knowing its fate
Marched while alone among those he led

22. If the sons neglect, their might will not avail them
With what fathers extended and grandfathers built

23. After the protectors have paved the way for a conqueror
Can boundaries repel a conqueror and borders?
