1. بِكَ اِزداد تَشريفاً بمصرك عيدُ

    بحليِ الثَنا مِنهُ تَجمل جيدُ

    Through you, the feast in your Egypt has grown in honor;

    a neck has been adorned with jewels of praise from it.

  2. وَأَومى إِلَيك المَجدُ فيهِ برفعةٍ

    لَها السَعد سَبط وَالدَوام حَفيد

    And in it, glory signaled to you an exalted rank,

    whose grandsons are good fortune and perpetuity.

  3. وَدارَت جُيوش النَصر حَول مَضارب

    بِها طوسنٌ بِالأَمر مِنكَ عَميد

    And the armies of victory circled encampments

    where Tusun is commander by your command.

  4. وَنال بِتَقبيل النعال سيادة

    قَريبٌ تَولى لثمَها وَبَعيد

    And by kissing the sandals, preeminence was won

    by those near and far who undertook to kiss them.

  5. وَفاض عَلى أَيدي الرَجا مِنكَ في الهَنا

    هُنالك بَحرٌ وافر وَمَديد

    And from you, amid joy, overflowed upon the hands of hope

    a sea there, abundant and far-reaching.

  6. وَسرّ بني الأَوطان رؤيتك الَّتي

    بِها كُل وَقت للبرية عيد

    And the sons of the homelands were delighted by the sight of you,

    through which every moment is a feast for humankind.

  7. فعش خالداً في الملك ما بثّ مُخلص

    لعلياك شكراً لا يَزال يَزيد

    So live forever in sovereignty, as long as a loyal man pours forth

    to your exalted station gratitude that never ceases to grow,

  8. وَما قال مَجدي في التَهاني مُؤرخاً

    بِأَخلاقك العيد الكَبير سَعيد

    and as long as Majdi says in congratulation, composing a chronogram:

    “Through your virtues, the Great Feast is happy.”
