1. I am here, I am here in these mirrors
You are the most deserving of honor and obedience

2. Convey through it a call that the servants clamored for
They hasten far-fetched wishes

3. And the people of money gathered around you
Competing in generous Hatim-like donations

4. So whoever saw you once subscribed
To volunteering for charity repeatedly

5. You became an honest trustee carrying a trust of the Most High
And you are more generous than those who fulfilled trusts

6. And Egypt takes from it while it is surplus
As if it were a treasure in the heavens

7. Now your concern for the homelands makes them happy
For every measure has an appointed time

8. Sublime resolutions you rose with
So you do not want to stop at limits

9. It is enough for the people to remember your grandfather
To see your stability in these areas

10. Whoever forgets its advice and
The grace of your family in the past and future harms Egypt

11. For it did not stand by its children with kindness
Except to make it forget those crimes

12. Verily those who sustained the life of countries are their grandfathers
They are most deserving to rule them

13. If they leave their inheritance to vain events
Then who will be guarantors after the guardians

14. And if they forfeit rights that do not cost them
Anything other than litigation, what is the memory of the conquests

15. Saied, the King, paved the way for Egypt
Beware every stubborn transgressor

16. For the reward of one who strives to save it
Is the reward of one who came between the wolf and sheep

17. And it is wise of you to prepare men for it
With knowledge before cannons and terraces

18. And rely on seasoned warriors
Before relying on warriors of raids

19. So send ten prominent ones every year
Who will come back with thousands of presidencies

20. Or build a university college in Egypt
Of various arts and types of industries

21. If Egypt in this time does not prevail
No era prevailed with metropolises and states

22. Were you one of yesterday's sons and remember him
Or do I not feel agony in my day?

23. Should I task myself against my habit?
I fear pleasures for my heart

24. And in me are motives bigger than filling the earth
Too important that I complain about them except for my need

25. I declared them like loud thunder but did not
Find a hearing of merciful consolation

26. Shall I lift indignation from my time and I do not see
Its slogan of free men other than complaints?

27. Countries without independence, their companion
Is desertion, even if gardens in the morning

28. So if Egypt becomes free for its companion
For the sake of these festivals

29. I justify myself with awaiting a tomorrow
Reserving for tomorrow some assumptions

30. Perhaps the Nile has from its past a reminder
With glad tidings for what is to come of good news

31. I postpone my celebrations, and then
You will see, my country, my lights and banners
