تَشرِيفُ مَوْلاَنَا الأَمِيرِ سَمَتْ بِهِ

تَشرِيفُ مَوْلاَنَا الأَمِيرِ سَمَتْ بِهِ

أَقْدَارُنَا مَا شَاءَتِ الأَقدَارُ

أَقْدَارُنَا مَا شَاءَتِ الأَقدَارُ

Our lord the prince's gracious visit has raised

Our master the Prince's arrival has directed

Our standing as high as fate has willed.

Our fates wherever the fates have willed

فَإِذَا نِظَامُ الْقوْلِ لمْ يَفِ شُكْرَهُ

فَإِذَا نِظَامُ الْقوْلِ لمْ يَفِ شُكْرَهُ

فلْيُسْعِدِ الرَّيْحَانُ وَهْو نِثارُ

فلْيُسْعِدِ الرَّيْحَانُ وَهْو نِثارُ

So if crafted verse cannot offer him due thanks,

So if words of order fail to thank him enough

Then let sweet basil lend its aid, strewn about.

Let the basil rejoice for it is scattered around

وَلْتُنْبِيءِ الزِّيناتُ عَنْ بَهَجَاتِنا

وَلْتُنْبِيءِ الزِّيناتُ عَنْ بَهَجَاتِنا

وَلْترْوِ عَنْ مُهُجَاتِنا الأَزْهَارُ

وَلْترْوِ عَنْ مُهُجَاتِنا الأَزْهَارُ

And let the decorations tell of our joys,

And let the adornments tell of our joys

And let the flowers speak of our hearts.

And let the flowers speak of what's in our hearts

وَإِذا الأَسِرَّةُ قَلَّ ضَوْءُ بَرِيقِهَا

وَإِذا الأَسِرَّةُ قَلَّ ضَوْءُ بَرِيقِهَا

فلْتبْتسِمْ فتُتِمَّه الأنْوَارُ

فلْتبْتسِمْ فتُتِمَّه الأنْوَارُ

And if the gleam upon our brows should fade,

And if the chambers' lights dim their glow

Then smile, so the lights may make it whole.

Let the lights smile to make them complete

مَوْلاَيَ هَذا يَوْمُ سَعْدٍ خالِدٌ

مَوْلاَيَ هَذا يَوْمُ سَعْدٍ خالِدٌ

أَبَداً لهُ فِي بَيْتِنا تَذْكارُ

أَبَداً لهُ فِي بَيْتِنا تَذْكارُ

My lord, this is an immortal day of joy;

My lord this is a day of eternal joy

Its memory will remain forever in our home.

Forever remembered in our home

فخْرٌ سَمَحْتَ لنا بِهِ مُتفَضِّلاً

فخْرٌ سَمَحْتَ لنا بِهِ مُتفَضِّلاً

قبْلاً وَزادَ جَلاَلَهُ التَّكرَارُ

قبْلاً وَزادَ جَلاَلَهُ التَّكرَارُ

It is an honor you graciously granted us

An honor you have allowed us, generously

Before, and its renewal has increased its grandeur.

Repeated, increasing its grandeur

فِي الشَّرْقِ أَوْ فِي الْغرْبِ إِنْ تؤْنِسْ لنَا

فِي الشَّرْقِ أَوْ فِي الْغرْبِ إِنْ تؤْنِسْ لنَا

دَاراً فثمَّة شَمْلُنَا وَالدَّارُ

دَاراً فثمَّة شَمْلُنَا وَالدَّارُ

In East or West, if you grace with your presence

In the East or West, if you comfort us

A house of ours—there we gather, and there is our home.

With a home, we shall unite there

يَا ابْنَ المُلوكِ لَقَدْ رَفَعْتَ مَقَامَنَا

يَا ابْنَ المُلوكِ لَقَدْ رَفَعْتَ مَقَامَنَا

إِن الصغَارَ تَزُورُهُمْ لَكِبَارُ

إِن الصغَارَ تَزُورُهُمْ لَكِبَارُ

O son of kings, you have indeed raised our standing;

O son of kings you have raised our status

Indeed, the lowly whom you visit are truly great.

For the great visit the small

مازَالَ فَضْلُكَ سَابِغاً شَهِدَتْ بِهِ

مازَالَ فَضْلُكَ سَابِغاً شَهِدَتْ بِهِ

مِصْرٌ وَزَكَّت قوْلَهَا الأَمْصَارُ

مِصْرٌ وَزَكَّت قوْلَهَا الأَمْصَارُ

Your bounty has remained abundant, as attested

Your generosity remains abundant, witnessed

By Egypt, and the cities affirmed her words.

By Egypt, and its words are pure

فَلْيَحْيَا عَبَّاسُ العُلَى وَشَقِيقُهُ

فَلْيَحْيَا عَبَّاسُ العُلَى وَشَقِيقُهُ

وَلْتحْيَا مِصْرُ وَقوْمُهَا الأَخْيارُ

وَلْتحْيَا مِصْرُ وَقوْمُهَا الأَخْيارُ

So long live exalted Abbas and his brother,

Long live Abbas the Sublime and his brother

And long live Egypt and her virtuous people!

And long live Egypt and its good people
