هَنِيئاً أَيَّها المَلِكُ المُفَدَّى

هَنِيئاً أَيَّها المَلِكُ المُفَدَّى

لِمِصْرَ وَأَهْلِهَا عِيدُ الجُلُوسِ

لِمِصْرَ وَأَهْلِهَا عِيدُ الجُلُوسِ

Congratulations, O king for whom we would give our lives,

O redeemed King, congratulations

to Egypt and her people on the feast of your accession!

On Egypt's and her people's accession day

رَعَاكَ اللّهُ مِنْ فَارُوقَ يُمْنٍ

رَعَاكَ اللّهُ مِنْ فَارُوقَ يُمْنٍ

أَدَالَ بِهَا السُّعُودَ مِنَ النُّحُوسِ

أَدَالَ بِهَا السُّعُودَ مِنَ النُّحُوسِ

May God preserve you, Farouk of good fortune,

May God protect you with auspicious success

who made good fortune prevail over ill within her,

Dispelling misfortunes on your way

وَأَشْكَى شَعْبَهَا وَحَبَا وَوَاسَى

وَأَشْكَى شَعْبَهَا وَحَبَا وَوَاسَى

فَرَدَّ بَشَاشةَ الشَّعبِ العَبُوسِ

فَرَدَّ بَشَاشةَ الشَّعبِ العَبُوسِ

and redressed her people's grievances, bestowed gifts, and consoled them,

Comforting and soothing her folk, their sadness undone

thus restoring cheer to the frowning people;

Restoring cheer to their sullen dismay

وأَوْرَدَهَا مَوَارِدَ مِنْ صَفَاءٍ

وأَوْرَدَهَا مَوَارِدَ مِنْ صَفَاءٍ

مُحَلاَّةً مُحَلَّلَةَ الكُؤُوسِ

مُحَلاَّةً مُحَلَّلَةَ الكُؤُوسِ

and led her to springs of purity,

To watering places of purity you've led them anew Sweetly sipped from each proffered carouse

sweetened, their cups lawful to drink;

You've drawn her swords, guarding her eminence proud

وَسَلَّ سُيُوفَهَا تَحْمِي عُلاَهَا

وَسَلَّ سُيُوفَهَا تَحْمِي عُلاَهَا

وَوَقَّى بِالدرُوعِ وَبِالتُرُوسِ

وَوَقَّى بِالدرُوعِ وَبِالتُرُوسِ

and unsheathed her swords to guard her greatness,

With armor and helmets and bright metal joust

and protected her with armor and shields;

Her council you've shielded, its glory prevails

وَوَقَّى عَهدَ شورَاهَا فَعَزَّتْ

وَوَقَّى عَهدَ شورَاهَا فَعَزَّتْ

بِحِكْمَةِ سَائِسٍ وَرِضَى مَسُوسِ

بِحِكْمَةِ سَائِسٍ وَرِضَى مَسُوسِ

and safeguarded her covenant of consultation, so she grew mighty,

With wisdom, consent of each measure discussed

through a ruler's wisdom and the contentment of the ruled.

Yours is command gladly obeyed by all eyes

لكَ الأَمْرُ المُطَاعُ عَلَى عُيُونٍ

لكَ الأَمْرُ المُطَاعُ عَلَى عُيُونٍ

مَلأْتَ حِدَاقَهَا وعَلَى الرؤُوسِ

مَلأْتَ حِدَاقَهَا وعَلَى الرؤُوسِ

Your command is obeyed, borne upon the eyes

That fill up their orbits, each head and each brow

whose pupils you have filled, and upon the heads.

No crown in her passions compares to your own

فَمَا تاجٌ كَتَاجِكَ فِي هَوَاهَا

فَمَا تاجٌ كَتَاجِكَ فِي هَوَاهَا

وَلاَ عَرْشٌ كَعَرْشِكَ فِي النُّفُوسِ

وَلاَ عَرْشٌ كَعَرْشِكَ فِي النُّفُوسِ

For no crown is like yours in their affection,

No throne in all hearts rises higher than thou

nor any throne like yours within their souls.

Long life without limit, may you reign

تمَلَّ الْعُمْرَ تُوسِعُهُ فَخَاراً

تمَلَّ الْعُمْرَ تُوسِعُهُ فَخَاراً

وَتلْبِسُ مَجْدَهُ أَزْهَى لَبُوسِ

وَتلْبِسُ مَجْدَهُ أَزْهَى لَبُوسِ

Enjoy life to the full, enriching it with honor,

In splendor that clothes you with glory espoused

and clothing its glory in the most radiant garb.
