نجوتَ فأنجيت هذا الوطنْ

وطالت حياتك طول الزمنْ

You have survived, so you have saved this nation

And your life has lasted as long as time

ولم تتجاوز أداة الأثي

مِ ما ضاق من سره والعلنْ

And you have not exceeded the tool of harm

From the one whose secret and public became constrained

ولو علمت أنفذت ما نوى

من الشر في نفسه والبدن

And if you knew, you would have prevented

The evil he intended for himself and the body

تبرَّأ من دمه أهله

وأنكره ثوبه والسكن

His family has disowned his blood

And his clothes and dwelling have denied him

وزادك بأساً ولاء البلاد

على دفع أهوالها والمحن

And your loyalty to the country has increased your might

To ward off its afflictions and tribulations

وخاف العقوبة مغري الجنا

ة لا مرضاً معدياً فاحتقن

And the seducer of sin feared punishment

Not a contagious disease, so he was restrained

تحدّاك غيران حتى وهى

وعاداك غضبان حتى وهن

The jealous challenged you though defeated

And the wrathful opposed you though weakened

وكان يتيه بدعوى الفخار

فأقعده شجوُهُ والشجن

And he who claimed excellence went astray

His passion and sadness made him sit

وأخفق من شاء بيع البلا

د بالحكم بغياً وبئس الثمن

And whoever wished to sell the country in exchange for unjust rule failed miserably - evil is the price

His comrades almost abandoned him in despair and avoided the idol

وكاد يفارقه رهطُهُ

قنوطاً ويجتنبون الوثن

He did politics so badly that people saw

His politics as the worst of professions

أساء السياسة حتى رأى

سياسته الناس شر المهن

Can one who steals money in the name of sacrifice

One day be trusted with a state?

أمن يسرق المال باسم الجها

د يوماً على دولة يؤتمن

You are the healer of all matters

So can you heal rancor?

وأنت المعالج شتى الأمور

فهل تستطيع علاج الضغن

Manage the peace of the fever and await

Its consequences after averting strife

فدبر سلام الحمى وانتظر

عواقبه بعد درء الفتن

You whose right is to be honored

And whose duties and traditions have stood

وأنت الذي حق تكريمه

وقامت فرائضه والسنن

You and your fellow reformers

Are Egypt's guarantee of a good fate

وأنت وإخوانك المصلحون

لمصر ضمان المصير الحسن
