يقين البلاد وإيمانَها

ملكتَ فأيَّدت سلطانَها

The faith of the country and its certainty

You have taken possession and supported its authority

بنيت لها الدار ميمونة

وقد جئت تختار سكانها

You built it an auspicious house

And you have come to choose its inhabitants

معزاً كراسيها بعد ما

جعلت الكفايات أثمانها

Honoring its thrones after

You made competencies their prices

وآثرت للأمة المصلحين

يقيمون في الأرض ميزانها

And you preferred for the nation the reformers

Who establish justice in the land and its scales

وبلغك الملك المفتدى

برضوانه عنك رضوانها

And the desired kingship has reached you

With his satisfaction with you and his satisfaction with it

وسرت برحلته في الصعيد

تبشر مصر وسودانها

And you traveled on his trip in Upper Egypt

Bringing good tidings to Egypt and its Sudan

وزاد المطاف بتلك البقا

عِ رغد البقاع وعمرانها

And the pilgrimage to that remaining life

Increased the prosperity of its lands and its population

فإن أعجبته احتفالاتها

فقد نالها منك ما زانها

So if its celebrations have pleased him

It has gotten from you what adorned it

ضمنت لحزبك في الدولة ال

مآل وعالجت غضبانها

You have secured for your party in the state

An outcome and treated its anger

خلت يده في مقاليدها

فعاد عدواً لمن صانها

You left your hand on its reins

So it became an enemy to whoever protected it

أمانة قومك أديتها

وجاء يصدُّك من خانها

You have fulfilled the trust of your people

And someone comes to stop you, who betrayed it

وما يستطيع عصى أو أطاع

زيادة حال ونقصانها

Powerless are obedience or disobedience

To increase its condition or decrease it

فما للعشيرة بعد الودا

د باتت تقاطع إخوانها

What is left for the clan after love

Spent the night severing its brothers

وعاتبتها وهي تشكو إلى

عداها جواها وأشجانها

You blamed it while it complained

To its enemies, its passion and its sorrows

وتأسى على الأمر وهي التي

أرادت من الأمر حرمانها

And you sympathized with the matter while it

Wanted to deprive it of the matter

ومن عجب أن تهون النسور

فتتبع في مصر غربانها

How strange that eagles belittle themselves

Then follow the crows in its Egypt

ويلقى المساءة من لم يسئ

فيسألها اليوم غفرانها

And the blame is received by who did not wrong

So it asks him today for its forgiveness

وينسى الذي عده أمسه

عليها ويطلب نسيانها

And forgets who considered him yesterday

Against it and seeks its oblivion

وأنت القدير على شيعة

تزيد أناتُك عدوانها

While you are capable against supporters

Whose aggression your patience increases

وتحصي عليك خطوب الزمان

وإن لقيت منك معوانها

And count upon you the tribulations of time

Even if you found its help from it

تولت بقربانها للغريم

نفاقاً فلم يرض قربانها

It turned with its offerings to the enemy

Hypocritically, so he was not pleased with its offering

ولما صبرت على شيبها

مضوا بك يغرون شبانها

And when you were patient with its old age

They went against you, seducing its youth

فإن ذهب اليوم ميدانها

فقد خسرت أمس فرسانها

So if its arena is lost today

It had lost its horsemen yesterday

ولم يبق إلا أراجيفها

تفسر للناس أضغانها

And nothing remains but its rumors

Explaining its songs to people

وما هي إلا ذئاب البلا

د صارت ببأسك قطعانها

It is nothing but the wolves of the country

Who became, by your might, its herds

وما أنت إلا رسول الزمان

إلى مصر تهدم أوثانها

You are nothing but the messenger of time

To Egypt, destroying its idols

غزوت عقائدها فانثنت

إليك وغيرت أذهانها

You conquered its beliefs so it inclined

To you and changed its minds

وأكبر من فاتح الحصن من

يعيد إلى النفس وجدانها

And greater than the conqueror of a fortress is he

Who restores to the soul its creed

ولا بد للرهط من رجعة

إليك وإن خاف إعلانها

The gang must return

To you, even if it fears its declaration

حكمت وللحكم شجعانه

كما أن للحرب شجعانها

You ruled, and ruling has its brave

As war has its brave

وألزمت عهدك في الأمتي

نِ عدل السماء وإحسانها

And you obliged your covenant to the two nations

The justice of heaven and its benevolence

سترسو السفينة معتزة

وقد حمد الركب ربانها

The ship will dock proudly

And the crew has praised its captain

وإن القضية موكولةٌ

لمن ملك اليوم برهانها

And the case is entrusted

To whom owns today its proof
