1. كَوكَبُ اليَمَنِ بِمِصرَ قَد ظَهَر

    يا لَهُ ظالِعٌ إِقبالَ زَهر

    The star of good fortune has appeared in Egypt.

    Oh, what a radiant rising star of prosperity!

  2. وَالَماني بِالتَعالي اِنبَأَت

    وَلِحُسنِ الحَظِّ قَد صَحَّ الخَبَر

    And hopes foretold exaltation,

    and, by good fortune, the news proved true:

  3. حينَما مَجلِسُ شورى قُطرُنا

    عَزَّ شَأناً وَسَناهُ قَد سَفَر

    when our country's Consultative Council

    rose in standing and its radiance shone forth,

  4. بِرَئيسٍ قَد تَوَلّى أَمرُهُ

    قَد عَرَفناهُ وَهَل يَخفى القَمَر

    through a chairman who took charge of its affairs.

    We have known him—can the moon be hidden?

  5. قُدوَةُ الإِنصافِ ذاكَ المُجتَبي

    مَعدِنُ الأَلطافِ ذو العَليا عُمَر

    That chosen man, a model of fairness,

    a mine of kindness—Umar, possessor of lofty rank.

  6. مَنهِلُ الخَيراتِ كَهفُ المُرتَجى

    قائِلُ العَثَراتِ مَنّاعُ الضَرَر

    A wellspring of blessings, a haven of hope,

    a pardoner of missteps, a steadfast preventer of harm.

  7. فَهوَ بِالفِطنَةِ نِبارسٌ يُضي

    ءُ إِذا ما مَعضِلُ الأَمرِ اِعتَكَر

    For through discernment he is a beacon that shines

    whenever a difficult matter grows murky.

  8. وَهوَ لِلشِدَّةِ ذُخرٌ زاخِرٌ

    لا عَدِمناهُ وَنِعمَ المُدَّخَر

    And for adversity he is an abundant reserve;

    may we never lose him—what a fine treasure in reserve!

  9. كَم لَهُ مِن مِنَّةٍ بَينَ الوَرى

    حَمَدَ الكُلَّ عَلَيها وَشَكَر

    How many favors he has bestowed among humankind,

    for which everyone has praised and thanked him!

  10. وَكَأَيِّن مِن مُروآتٍ لَهُ

    عَمَّتِ العالَمَ بَحراً ثُمَّ بَر

    And how many noble deeds are his,

    encompassing the world, by sea and then by land!

  11. وَعَناءق طالَما إِزالُهُ

    بِاِهتِمامِ زانِهِ حُسنُ نَظَر

    And hardship he has so often dispelled,

    with care adorned by sound judgment.

  12. وَظَلومٌ رَدَّهُ عَن غَيِّهِ

    وَعَنِ الظُلمِ نَهاهُ فَاِزدَجَر

    And an oppressor he turned from his waywardness,

    and forbade him injustice, so he desisted.

  13. حَيثُ كانَ الحَقُّ أَقصى قَصدُهُ

    عَنهُ لا يَثنيهِ بَأسٌ أَو ضَجَر

    For justice was his utmost aim;

    no hardship or weariness turns him away from it.

  14. وَاِنتِظامَ الحالِ مِن أَغراضِهِ

    إِينَما كانَ وَسَل تَلقَ الأَثَر

    And setting affairs in order is among his aims,

    wherever he is—ask, and you will see the effect.

  15. فَليَهنَئ كُلَّ مِصري أَخا

    هُ وَيوفي النُذرَ مَن كانَ نُذُر

    So let every Egyptian congratulate his brother,

    and let whoever has vowed fulfill his vow,

  16. وَيُؤَدّي الحَمدَ وَالشُكرَ إِلى

    مَن لَهُ اِختارَ وَإِيّاهُ اِعتَبَر

    and offer praise and thanks to

    the one who chose on his behalf and esteemed the chosen man:

  17. سَنَدُ الأُمَّةِ مَولانا العَزي

    زُ لَهُ القادِرُ أَبقى وَخَفَر

    the nation's mainstay, our mighty master—

    may the Almighty preserve and protect him,

  18. وَحَباهُ الفَوزُ وَالنَصرُ عَلى

    كُلَّ مَن عاداهُ سِرّاً أَو جَهَر

    and grant him success and victory over

    all who oppose him, secretly or openly.

  19. فَقَدِ اِختارَ رَئيساً حائِزاً

    ثِقَةَ الناسِ وَبِالحَزمِ اِشتَهَر

    For he has chosen a chairman who commands

    the people's trust and is renowned for resolve.

  20. وَسَيَلقى فيهِ تَحقيقَ الرَجا

    بَل وَيَلقى فيهِ أَقوى مَن وَزَر

    And in him he will find his hopes fulfilled,

    nay, he will find in him the strongest of supporters.

  21. يا لِقَومي بَشَّروا الشورى بِهِ

    وَاِرقُبوا أَقرَبَ خَيرٍ يَنتَظِر

    O my people, bring the Council glad tidings of him,

    and await the earliest blessing in store.

  22. وَاِعلَموا أَنَّ الأَماني أَرخَت

    مَجلِسَ الشورى يَرقى بِعُمَر

    And know that hopes have marked the date:

    “The Consultative Council rises through Umar.”

  23. وَهوَ فالَ لَيسَ يَخفى حُسنُهُ

    ساقَهُ الإِلهامُ في طَيِّ الفِكِر

    And it is a good omen whose beauty is plain,

    borne by inspiration within the folds of thought.

  24. فَاِسأَلوا اللَهَ جَميعاً قُربَهُ

    فَإِلَيهِ المُنتَهى وَالمُسَتَقَر

    So ask God, all of you, for nearness to Him,

    for to Him are the final destination and resting place.
