أماناً أستطيع به بيانا

فقد بهرت مهابتك الجنانا

With composure I can express

For your awe-inspiring grace has dazzled the heavens

وأنت على وقار منه كادت

تميد الأرض ممتلئ حنانا

And you stand with such dignity, the earth itself

Nearly sways, so full of affection

أراك وملء عيني منك حسن

فيفتتن الفؤاد بك افتتانا

I see you, and my eyes are full of your beauty

Making my heart completely infatuated

أحبك هائباً والحب أبقى

على أمل وأقوى مستعانا

I love you in awe, and my love remains

Upon hope, strengthened and reinforced

يودك ناظري منه قريباً

وما خلت الجوانح منك آنا

My eyes desire you near them

And my innermost being has not stopped thinking of you

أصاحب مصر سعياً في سلام

كفاك نجاحه الحرب العوانا

I accompany Egypt striving for peace

It is enough that its war has succeeded

فما ولاك ربك مصر إلا

لترجع مجدها والعنفوانا

For your Lord did not make you rule Egypt

Except to restore its glory and determination

فكان وقد نهضت به وحيداً

عليك صلاح أهليها ضمانا

And so when you took charge of it alone

The well-being of its people was your guarantee

وما كلَّفتهم تعباً ولكن

أمرت عسير أمرهمُ فهانا

You did not burden them with toil, rather

You eased their most difficult affairs, so they became easy

تنقل في القرى مثل الغوادي

جعلنَ لكلِّ إقليمٍ أوانا

You travel among the villages like flowing streams

Making time for each region

قسمت حظوظها في الخير عدلاً

فلم تترك بلا أثر مكانا

You divided its blessings with justice

Not leaving any place devoid of traces

وعلَّمت الوفاء النيل حتى

رعى ميثاقه فينا وصانا

And you taught the Nile loyalty until

It observed its covenant with us and protected it

ولو خان البلاد اعتضْنَ عنه

محيَّاك المبارك والبنانا

And if it betrayed the country, you would forbid it

May you be blessed and grow more graceful

وقد هذبت أخلاق الليالي

فعادت في مودتها حسانا

You have refined the morals of the nights

So they have returned with even more affection
