1. Bring the news, oh London, darkened
And make fire around it and iron

2. And spew poison upon the innocent
And send thunder upon the faithful

3. The soldiers carried it before what delights
The lightning carried it, snatching, and the mail

4. The words of the Messenger or the sword of a hero
We see, while you count promises

5. We have tested your secret order before
So we have not found anything new yet

6. Increase what you ask of the king's cities
You used to ask for borders

7. Is the Nile really free in its course
Tomorrow, after you built the dams?

8. You prevent the fertile from watering if you wish
And you water if you want the desert

9. Change the opinion of those you raised and exalted
An ambassador or return him a chieftain

10. Whoever refuses to be bound by your generosity
How can he be content in humiliation and shackles?

11. If you allow denial after confession
It is just that denial allows the same

12. Excuse what you have presented after you were content
To see it as paving the way to murder

13. And Egypt refused to be bought and sold
And to see the free man bound and fettered

14. And it is fitting for the free man to leave what is lost
If the missing were not brought back to him

15. What the difficult desired of the clear request of rights
And did not want the distant

16. Why does the correct call dislike
That he tries to persist in error?

17. What is the way for one whose means is honesty
To what he wanted walks resolutely?

18. Other than the brother of insight and opinion
When he is not bold and determined

19. Keen on covenants, choosing
Do you want him guided or led?

20. So if he persists you belittle him, and if he revolts
You portray him as a deviant sinner

21. The days did not end until they were exhausted
So if Egypt promised, it kept its promise

22. And if the state of equality returned
It divides people into masters and slaves

23. Is this how friendship is planted by one
A steadfast ally across time?

24. No friend endures unless he is
Useful, his affection advantageous

25. What right do we get from an enemy
Who does not care if the world bears witness?

26. What people tempt us after the one who tempted
The people of Iraq, a stubborn neighbor?

27. Egypt has joined Iraq, and the Nile
Has become like the Euphrates, flowing restrained

28. It will see our patience with it as beautiful
If its might against us is severe

29. And it will find after the refusal, refusal
And the delegations of jihad follow each other

30. And the tyrant will see if what he went to
Is possible or foiled

31. The weak are not immune to the changes of fate
Nor are the strong guaranteed eternity

32. The defeat of armies is worse than the opinion
That meets condemnation and refutation
