1. يا ظَبي أنسٍ قاهِري بِالنَوى

    وَهوَ عَلى هَتكي بِهِ حاجري

    O tame gazelle, overpowering me with separation,

    Yet, despite my disgrace through him, he restrains me;

  2. وَجاعِلاً مصرَ لَهُ مَوطِناً

    رِفقاً بِمَن يَهواك يا قاهِري

    And you who make Egypt your home,

    Be gentle with the one who loves you, O Cairene.
