1. عَزيزُ مِصرَ الخُدَيوي بالعِبادِ سما

    رَفيعَ جاهِ سَنىً في المَجدِ والرُتَبِ

    Egypt's mighty lord, the Khedive, rose high with his people.

    Lofty in standing, radiant in glory and rank.

  2. نَراهُ جلَّ بأَوجٍ قد رَقي شَرَفاً

    تَوفيقَ جَدٍّ جَمالَ النور للعَرَبِ

    We see him exalted at a summit, having risen in honor—

    Tawfiq of good fortune, the beauty of light for the Arabs.
