جادت يد الحرم العالي بما افتخرت
مصر به وتباهت سائر المدن
The hand of the exalted lady has generously given
What Egypt took pride in and all other cities envied
شادت على الخير والاحسان مدرسة
تزهو بأبدع شكل معجب حسن
She established a school for good and benevolence
That prides itself with the most wondrous, beautiful form
محل مجد لتعليم البنات سما
بمصر في سالف الاعصار لم يكن
A place of glory for educating girls, sublime
In Egypt's past eras there was nothing akin
أدّت به واجبات للعلى ووفى
معروفها بفروض البر والسنن
She fulfilled her duties to the Most High and was true
To her well-known charitable and pious obligations
في ظل أيام اسمعيل لا برحت
قريرة بعلاه أعين الوطن
In the days of Ismail she never ceased
Being cherished, her nobility the eyes of the nation
تقبل اللَه منها حسن نيتها
وما أفادت من الآلاء والمنن
May God accept her good intentions
And the benefits and favors she has granted
خير لرونق مراه ومسمعه
بارض مصر سرور العين والاذن
Good for the splendor of its outlook and hearing
In Egypt, the joy of eye and ear
أبقته للوطن المحروس مأثرة
غراء تفضل وصف الواصف اللسن
She kept it for the protected nation, a treasure
Too noble for any eloquent tongue to describe
ندعو لها اللَه أن تبقى ممتعة
بطول عمر خديوينا مدى الزمن
We pray to God it remains delightful
For the longevity of our Khedive’s reign
ما فاه فكري بتطريز يؤرخه
عالي بناء لتعليم البنات بنى
My mind cannot sufficiently praise in embroidery
The lofty structure for educating girls that was built
