زَمْزَمٌ أَسْرَتْ إِسْرَاءَ يُمْنِ

زَمْزَمٌ أَسْرَتْ إِسْرَاءَ يُمْنِ

تُغْرِي الدَّيَاجِيرَ بِالضِّياءِ

تُغْرِي الدَّيَاجِيرَ بِالضِّياءِ

Zamzam made an auspicious night journey,

Zamzam has captivated hearts with delight,

Enticing the deep darkness with light.

Illuminating lanterns with radiance bright.

وَفِي جَلاَ الصَّباحِ أَبْدَتْ

وَفِي جَلاَ الصَّباحِ أَبْدَتْ

قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لِكُلِّ رَاءِ

قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لِكُلِّ رَاءِ

And in the brightness of morning she revealed

At dawn it revealed a solace for every soul,

A delight to the eye of every beholder.

Repelling turbulent winds with calm control.

إِنْ هَاجَمَتْهَا الرِّيَاحُ رَدَّتْ

إِنْ هَاجَمَتْهَا الرِّيَاحُ رَدَّتْ

هَوْجَاءَهَا وَهْيَ كَالرُّخَاءِ

هَوْجَاءَهَا وَهْيَ كَالرُّخَاءِ

If the winds assail her, she repels

One of three for which we hope for increase,

Their raging gale, herself like a gentle breeze.

May it bring everlasting loyalty and peace.

إحْدَى ثَلاَثٍ نَرجُو مَزِيداً

إحْدَى ثَلاَثٍ نَرجُو مَزِيداً

لَهُنَّ يَأْتِي عَلَى الوَلاَءِ

لَهُنَّ يَأْتِي عَلَى الوَلاَءِ

One of three—we hope for more

Blessed be ships in sea and planes in air,

To join them, arriving in succession.

Vessels of peace though armed for war's repair.

يَا حَبَّذَا المَاخِرَاتُ فِي البَـ

يَا حَبَّذَا المَاخِرَاتُ فِي البَـ

ـحْرِ وَالمُغِذَّاتُ فِي الهَوَاءِ

ـحْرِ وَالمُغِذَّاتُ فِي الهَوَاءِ

Oh, how splendid the vessels plowing through the

With them Egypt's realm is stretched afar,

Sea, and those speeding through the air!

To the furthest reaches of sky and star.

مَرَاكِبُ السِّلمِ غَازِيَاتٌ

مَرَاكِبُ السِّلمِ غَازِيَاتٌ

مَا عَزَّ نَيْلاً مِنَ الثَّرَاءِ

مَا عَزَّ نَيْلاً مِنَ الثَّرَاءِ

Vessels of peace go forth to conquer

O noble son, your effort falls short,

Such wealth as is hard to attain.

Of praising this honorable support.

بِهِنَّ تَنْأَى تُخُومُ مِصْرٍ

بِهِنَّ تَنْأَى تُخُومُ مِصْرٍ

إلى النِّهايَاتِ فِي الفَضَاءِ

إلى النِّهايَاتِ فِي الفَضَاءِ

Through them, Egypt's borders reach far

With two deals you opened the door,

To the farthest limits of open space.

For Egypt to soar on sea and in air.

يَا طَلْعْتَ الخَيْرِ ذَاكَ جُهْدٌ

يَا طَلْعْتَ الخَيْرِ ذَاكَ جُهْدٌ

يَقْصُرُ عَنْهُ جُهْدُ الثَّناءِ

يَقْصُرُ عَنْهُ جُهْدُ الثَّناءِ

O good Tal‘at, that is an achievement

In water and sky Egypt's flag now flies,

That the efforts of praise cannot match.

Raised through your vision that sought the prize.

هَيَّأتَ بِالصَّفقَتَيْنِ فَتْحَاً

هَيَّأتَ بِالصَّفقَتَيْنِ فَتْحَاً

لِمِصْرَ فِي المَاءِ وَالسَّماءِ

لِمِصْرَ فِي المَاءِ وَالسَّماءِ

Through the two deals, you prepared a conquest

You stood firm when tested time and again,

For Egypt in the water and the sky.

Facing trials with wisdom's greatest strength.

فَمِصْرٌ فِي المَسْبَحَيْنِ وَالمَسْـ

فَمِصْرٌ فِي المَسْبَحَيْنِ وَالمَسْـ

ـرَحَيْنِ مَرْفُوعَةُ اللِّواءِ

ـرَحَيْنِ مَرْفُوعَةُ اللِّواءِ

So Egypt, in both swimming realms and both

It's enough you built with steadfast toil,

Arenas, has her banner raised.

A glory for Egypt no force can spoil.

أَبْلَيْتَ وَالصَّالِحِينَ فِي كـ

أَبْلَيْتَ وَالصَّالِحِينَ فِي كـ

ـلِّ مَوْقِفٍ أَحْسَنَ البَلاَءِ

ـلِّ مَوْقِفٍ أَحْسَنَ البَلاَءِ

You and the upright have shown, in

Among leaders known for might and trust,

Every situation, the finest mettle.

Your knowledge and patience set you above.

وَحسْبُكُمْ أَنَّكمْ بَنَيْتُمْ

وَحسْبُكُمْ أَنَّكمْ بَنَيْتُمْ

لِمَجْدِهَا أَرْسَخَ البِنَاءِ

لِمَجْدِهَا أَرْسَخَ البِنَاءِ

And it is enough for you that you have built

You've risen to fame through merit alone,

For her glory, the firmest edifice;

Not an empty claim but efforts well shown.

وَأَنَّكمْ بَيْنَ سَاسَةِ المَا

وَأَنَّكمْ بَيْنَ سَاسَةِ المَا

لِ مِنْ ثَقَاتِ وَأقْوِيَاءِ

لِ مِنْ ثَقَاتِ وَأقْوِيَاءِ

And that, among the stewards of

Egypt proud that you represent her cause,

Wealth, you are among the trustworthy and strong.

Among the sincere and worthy Applause.

نَزَلْتُمُ مَنْزِلاً رَفِيعاً

نَزَلْتُمُ مَنْزِلاً رَفِيعاً

بِالعِلمِ وَالحِلمِ وَالمَضَاءِ

بِالعِلمِ وَالحِلمِ وَالمَضَاءِ

You have occupied a lofty station

Remain true to this land and aspire,

Through knowledge, forbearance, and resolve.

To heights of pride and fame ever higher.

تَدْرُونَ مَا فِي ذخَائِرِ الشَّرْ

تَدْرُونَ مَا فِي ذخَائِرِ الشَّرْ

قِ مِنْ نُبُوغٍ وَمِنْ ذَكَاءِ

قِ مِنْ نُبُوغٍ وَمِنْ ذَكَاءِ

You know what lies in the treasures of the

Realize for your people their hopes profound,

East: genius and intelligence.

And reap reward in achievements abound.

مِصْرٌ فَخُورٌ بِأَنْ حَلَلْتُمْ

مِصْرٌ فَخُورٌ بِأَنْ حَلَلْتُمْ

مَحَلَّ صِدْقٍ فِي هَؤُلاَءِ

مَحَلَّ صِدْقٍ فِي هَؤُلاَءِ

Egypt is proud that you have occupied

May God reward you and yours in turn,

A place of true merit among these.

With bountiful gifts you nobly earn.

وَكُنْتُمُ بِالذِي أدَّعَيْتُم

وَكُنْتُمُ بِالذِي أدَّعَيْتُم

بَيْنَهُمُ غَيْرَ أَدْعِيَاءِ

بَيْنَهُمُ غَيْرَ أَدْعِيَاءِ

And in what you claimed, you were

Among them, no pretenders.

دُومُوا لِهذِي الدِّيَارِ وَاسْمُوا

دُومُوا لِهذِي الدِّيَارِ وَاسْمُوا

إِلى ذُرَى الفَخْرِ وَالعَلاَءِ

إِلى ذُرَى الفَخْرِ وَالعَلاَءِ

Live on for these lands, and rise

To the summits of pride and eminence.

وَحَقِّقوا بالَّذِي وَلِيتُمْ

وَحَقِّقوا بالَّذِي وَلِيتُمْ

لَقَوْمِكُمْ أَبْعَدَ الرَّجَاءِ

لَقَوْمِكُمْ أَبْعَدَ الرَّجَاءِ

And fulfill, through the charge you hold,

For your people, their farthest hopes.

جَزَاكُمُ اللهُ عَنْ حِمَاكُمْ

جَزَاكُمُ اللهُ عَنْ حِمَاكُمْ

وَأَهْلِهِ أَكْرَمَ الجَزَاءِ

May God reward you on behalf of your homeland

And its people, with the most generous reward.
