نَظر النيلُ وَالمَدامِعُ تَهمي

نَظر النيلُ وَالمَدامِعُ تَهمي

كَيفَ يَهوى القَضا منيرة فَهمي

كَيفَ يَهوى القَضا منيرة فَهمي

The Nile looked on as tears streamed down,

The Nile looked, and tears flooded

At how the judiciary loves Munira Fahmi.

How destiny swooned, dazzling my mind

يا قُضاةً ظَلَمتُمُ العَدلَ مرّه

يا قُضاةً ظَلَمتُمُ العَدلَ مرّه

فَاِسمَعوا اليَومَ في القَضِيَّةِ أَمرَه

فَاِسمَعوا اليَومَ في القَضِيَّةِ أَمرَه

O judges, you wronged justice once;

O unjust judges, you have wronged justice bitterly

So hear its command in the case today:

So hear today what it has to say about the case

إِن تَرَكتُم مُنيرَة الإِثم حرَّه

إِن تَرَكتُم مُنيرَة الإِثم حرَّه

تَرتَكِب في حَياتِها أَلفَ إِثمِ

تَرتَكِب في حَياتِها أَلفَ إِثمِ

If you leave sinful Munira free,

If you leave Munira's sin raging

She will commit a thousand sins in her life.

She will commit a thousand sins in her life

مصرُ لا اِعتادَ جانِبيكِ الذامُ

مصرُ لا اِعتادَ جانِبيكِ الذامُ

فَلتَحِد عَن رُبوعِكِ الإِجرامُ

فَلتَحِد عَن رُبوعِكِ الإِجرامُ

Egypt, may reproach never haunt your shores;

Egypt, not accustomed are your banks to blame

So turn crime away from your lands.

So banish criminality from your plains

هذِهِ مرغَريتُ وَالحُكّامُ

هذِهِ مرغَريتُ وَالحُكّامُ

بَرَّأت جُرمَها بِأَفظَعِ حُكمِ

بَرَّأت جُرمَها بِأَفظَعِ حُكمِ

Here is Marguerite, and the judges

This is Margerite, and the judges

Have absolved her crime with the most appalling verdict.

Have exonerated her crime with the most heinous verdict

هذِهِ مَرغَريت حُكّامَ مصرِ

هذِهِ مَرغَريت حُكّامَ مصرِ

فَاِنظُروا في عُيونِها أَلفُ سرِّ

فَاِنظُروا في عُيونِها أَلفُ سرِّ

Here is Marguerite, O judges of Egypt;

This is Margerite, judges of Egypt

So see in her eyes a thousand secrets,

So look into her eyes for a thousand secrets

وَتوقّوا جَمالَ ذاكَ الثغرِ

وَتوقّوا جَمالَ ذاكَ الثغرِ

فَهو يُسبي قَلبَ القضاةِ وَيَظمي

فَهو يُسبي قَلبَ القضاةِ وَيَظمي

And beware the beauty of that mouth,

And beware the beauty of that lip

For it captivates the judges' heart and leaves it thirsting.

As it captivates the hearts of judges and oppresses

لا تَخَلّوا الميراثَ يَرنو إِلَيها

لا تَخَلّوا الميراثَ يَرنو إِلَيها

فَتَعاطيهِ مِن هَوى مُقلَتَيها

فَتَعاطيهِ مِن هَوى مُقلَتَيها

Do not let the inheritance gaze at her,

Do not leave the inheritance yearning for her

Lest she offer it some of the passion of her two eyes;

And she takes it out of love for her eyelashes

وَلَدى حَسوَتَين من مرشَفيها

وَلَدى حَسوَتَين من مرشَفيها

يُصبِح الإِرثُ عاشِقاً بِالرُغمِ

يُصبِح الإِرثُ عاشِقاً بِالرُغمِ

And after two sips from her lips,

And because of two moles above her cheeks

The inheritance becomes a lover despite itself.

The inheritance becomes a lover, despite itself

هذِهِ مرغَريتُ في أَرضِ مصرِ

هذِهِ مرغَريتُ في أَرضِ مصرِ

ما تَرى أَنتَ يا مريشال تجري

ما تَرى أَنتَ يا مريشال تجري

Here is Marguerite in the land of Egypt.

This is Margerite in the land of Egypt

What do you propose to do, Marshall?

What do you see, Marshal, happening

أُصمت اليومَ دع زَميلك فكري

أُصمت اليومَ دع زَميلك فكري

يَنصر العَدل فَالعَدالَة تَدمي

يَنصر العَدل فَالعَدالَة تَدمي

Be silent today; let your colleague Fikri

Be silent today, let your colleague Fikri

Uphold justice, for justice is bleeding.

Support justice, so justice bleeds
