1. Proclaim in the name of your Lord, this is your second year
And raise the banner of guidance in every arena

2. And wear the attributes of youth and roam in its field
And drink the cups of passion from the light of my guidance

3. And carry my poetry scrolls O Khalil, for I
Have never gifted them except to an artist

4. And play the euphonious string the tune of the passion
Of my heart and chant in the monastery of poetry my melodies

5. For life is but a dream that floats around us
So enjoy your youth, this is a fleeting world

6. O owner of sublime literature and its institute
I came to your club among my family and brethren

7. Delighted with the joy of meeting, accompanying me
My youthful vigor, inspiration and fervor

8. So listen to my anthem and soar high in the horizon
With the virginity of glory, of honesty and faith

9. I see Kinana crying over the days of its glory
And the Nile in its anguish like a woeful lover

10. And this eloquent language moaning, so who
Will care for it and heal its injurious wounds

11. In the garden of eternity, water and grow it
And in the sky of greatness, extend its reaching branches

12. Its fruits of intellectual meanings to be plucked
By the hand of imagination and gifted to the gatherer

13. And its flowers, the genius of prosody, has picked them
And composed the era's poetry and it became the pride of Aswan

14. Enough O language of the free, a pride
And clear proof of the loftiness of lineage

15. The discourse of Taha and Quran of God, is there
Beside these two any other pride for man?

16. Rise, O youths of zeal, from your slumber onwards
For glory calls upon you from the tribe of Qahtan

17. And mobilize your determination and pursue your purpose
And present the milk of the knowledgeable to the builder

18. No nation has ever attained its goal
While having among its youth cowardice and betrayal

19. Hold your hands together, for God is your supporter
And renew the covenant from now to

20. And pledge to Him that you will offer your blood
To save the East from the fangs of aggression
