1. A throne as long as the orbit of the seven stars
With the sun as its crown, not gold's adornment

2. It revived the times with the palm of glory owning it
So the palm of glory and merit greeted it

3. On its sides shone a light that sparkled
From the light of the Prince and ancestors of his and father

4. Its awe draws souls near and examines them
Like the sun's decor in Indian aloe wood canes

5. And none who saw Abbas's face facing it
Except they were delighted between bewilderment and wonder

6. My Master, I have indeed risen with it one day
Through God's mercy, a secret made clear by time

7. The day Egypt wished for before God made its attainment permissible
And it became connected by cause

8. Abbas made it prosperous and God supported it
And time honored it with knowledge and literature

9. So its side expanded and its companion strengthened
And its suitor retreated from that sand dune

10. And since they attributed the Nile to the Prince it flowed
Repelling the rivals and the envious in lineage

11. Like a bride when she is brought on her wedding day swaggering
In wondrous silk brocade or shiny Chinese satin

12. Or like a poem in praise of the glorious when it extends
Across the land like poetry's extension in books

13. O Nile's companion protecting and guarding it
From the guile of one with covered hatred in his heated chest

14. If Egypt's people could they would have hidden
This Nile in every eyelid that is not weeping

15. So extend your hands that it may take refuge in them
I see alarm in its loud injured cries

16. These hearts you have captivated with passion so they
Throb for none but you out of joy

17. And they were in distress that did not subside until
Today when they are sated, and were it not for you, they would not be sated

18. You have made Egypt triumphant on a wind equaling it
Like the ship's captain in the currents and open waters

19. And you protected it when there was no safety or prosperity
And you came to it with life when it was failing

20. So you were its shield against every intruder
And you were its shield in its fertile region

21. You are the excellence from its forefathers has emerged
I am not surprised if they say father of excellences

22. You have ascended with the ascending greatness and merit
And with the striving the effort and quest

23. So stay for Egypt for none but you has been proven loyal to it
By resolve's sincerity and time's lies

24. Verily time is for those who strove with insight
With policy while it toys with the heedless
