إنَّني أَستَغفِرُ اللَهَ لكُم
آلَ مِصرٍ ليسَ فيكُم من رجال
Indeed, I ask God's forgiveness for you.
I ask Allah's forgiveness for you
O people of Egypt, there are no men among you.
People of Egypt, among you there are no men
فَلَّ غربي أرى من نَومِكُم
وَرِضاكُم بِوجودِ الاِحتِلال
My edge is blunted, I see, by your slumber
Alas, I see your deep slumber in the west
And your contentment with the occupation's presence.
And your acceptance of the occupation
بحَّ صَوتي داعِياً مُستَنهِضاً
صارِخاً حتى تولّاني الكلال
My voice grew hoarse as I called, urging you to rise,
My voice cries out, rousing and inciting
Shouting until exhaustion overcame me.
Shouting until exhaustion takes me
لم أجِد فيكُم فتىً ذا هِمَّةٍ
إن عدا الدَهرُ عدا أَوصالَ صال
I found no young man among you with resolve,
Among you I find no youth with resolve
Who would attack if Fate attacked, or charge if it charged.
If time passes by, it passes limbs that are sound
رحِمَ اللَهُ وَزيراً سامهُ
قومَهُ ما ليس يَرضى فاِستَقال
May God have mercy on a minister who was pressed
May Allah have mercy on a minister named Samah
By his people to do what he would not accept, and so resigned.
Who led his people without accepting what displeased him, so he resigned
Sol 6.1
