سلاماً من النفس الأبية ألقيهِ

عليك وأغلى زائر من أحيِّيهِ

I send you greetings of noble spirit

And most precious visitor whom I welcome

تفقدْ قرى الإقليم واشهد ولاءه

كما أنت راجيه وآمله فيه

Visit the towns of the region and witness their loyalty

As you hope for them and place hope in them

وإن مكاناً زرته لهو جنة

بما أنت قاضيه وما أنت مجريه

And if you visited a place it becomes a paradise

With your judgment and your administration

وما ساعة أمضيتها في عشيرتي

سوى الدهر تمليه نعيماً وتهديه

And every hour I spent in my tribe

Is but an eternity you dictate, filled with bliss and guidance

فبلغ وزير الملك أنّا دعاته

إلى كل ما يرضي البلاد ويرضيه

So inform the minister that we are his supplicants

For all that satisfies the country and satisfies him

وأنّا بما أبدى وأجدى أعزة

وأنّ له العقبى بما بات ينويه

And that with what he initiated and made fruitful we are honored

And that for him is the future with what he intends by night

وأنّ له الإيمانَ من كل مخلص

وعهداً يراعيه وحقاً يوفيه

And that for him is the faith from every loyal one

And a pact he observes and a right he fulfills

وأنّا حماة العرش والعرش خالد

نقدسه تقديس مصر ونفديه

And that we are the guardians of the eternal throne

We sanctify it with the sanctity of Egypt and ransom it
