1. Tell your people what you intend and plan
And exalt what they saw of it and what they knew

2. With your share the days became sound and complete
For you are the resolutions, the days, and the ambitions

3. Take the path as you wish for a period
For which this nation congratulates the nations

4. O guest of Aswan who desires its air but has
Behind Aswan an ambush and a refuge

5. And a nation that receives from its fates
To it what the confidences desired and seizes

6. It divided between the people of both valleys their Nile
And it is the guarantee of unity between them

7. Their emotions flow in the course of its runoff
And they are the covenants of time and promises

8. Why be angry at what you are doing
They returned to it thirsty after they were deprived

9. And why did they fear after they clamored
The long eras of time passed over them or they grew bored

10. It is enough pleasure for you what you regained before them
Of Egypt’s right and what you maintained after them

11. And what you refused them except that they
Refuse all that is built by others

12. The issue of the Stone was it their matter or their means
And for the Prince did they want money or was it for them

13. They assumed power, confusing judges with it
Would you have wished except what they judged with

14. Be it acquittal or be it forgiveness
Both matters are respected

15. They said our innocence is for both nations together
They did wrong, both nations wronged by them

16. Do not change your order if they gain victory
Nor alter your affairs if they are defeated

17. Your supreme self expected their salvation
And justice belied what they assumed and claimed

18. And how can the law not encompass an incident
From them and from what you enacted of pardon and generosity

19. And may the intercessor they resort to for help
Be who they claimed takes vengeance

20. If they were punished they would proclaim they went
As victims and spread that they were wronged

21. And that it was the war they waged for their nation
Redemption though their eyes never saw war

22. And if you hold them one day to account for what they did
Aggression against you, then you have magnified their status

23. They would have deserved congratulations and regards
If suspicions of these accusations did not recur

24. And would they themselves speak of return one day
When they never believed in surrender from their time

25. And the case remains from their time one
In which you are both opponent and judge
