A sign for every believer
يا صاح حبُّ الوطن
حلية كل فطن
O friend, love of the homeland
Is an ornament for every wise one
مساقطُ الرُءوسِ
تَلَذُّ للنفوسِ
The places where we were born and raised
Are delightful to our souls
تُذهبُ كل بُوسِ
عنّا وكلَّ حرنَ
They take away all sorrows
From us and all grief
ومصرُ ابهى مولدِ
لنا وأزهى محتدِ
And Egypt is the most splendid place
Where we were born and raised
ومربعٍ ومعهدِ
للروح أو للبدنْ
And the most glorious place
For our spirits or bodies
شُدتْ لها العزائمُ
نِيطتْ بها التمائمُ
Resolute vows were made for her
Charms were tied to her
لطبعنا تُلائمُ
في السر أو في العَلنْ
They suit our nature
Secretly or openly
مصرُ لها أيادِي
عُليا على البلادِ
Egypt has mighty hands
High above other lands
وفخرهُا يُنادي
ما المجدُ إلا ديْدني
And her pride proclaims
Glory is my constant way
الكونُ من مصرَ اقتبسْ
نوراً وما عنه احتبسْ
The universe drew from Egypt
Light, and did not withhold any
وما فخارها التبس
إلا على وغدٍ دَنيِ
Her pride was never obscured
Except for a lowly future
فخرٌ قديم يُؤْثَرُ
عن سادةٍ ويُنْشَر
Ancient pride is preferred
Over nobles and is spread
زهورُ مجد تنثر
منها العقول تَجْتنِي
Flowers of glory scattered
From which minds are harvested
دارُ نعيم زاهيَهْ
ومعدان الرفاهيَهْ
A land of beautiful bliss
And the best well-being
آمرةٌ وناهيهْ
قِدماً لكل المدنْ
Commanding and forbidding
Always for all cities
تحنو على القريبِ
تحلو لدى الغريبِ
She is affectionate to a relative
And sweet to a stranger
ترنو إلى الرقيبِ
شرراً بسهم الأعينْ
She aspires to curb
Any hostilities from eyes
طُول المدا وَلودُ
وللهُدى ودودُ
She is enduring and loving
And friendly to guidance
ما أمَّها جَحودُ
إلا انثنى بالوهنْ
Never ungrateful
Except when weakened
قوةُ مصرَ القاهره
على سِواها ظاهره
Egypt's strength is supreme
Over all others, manifest
وبالعمارِ زاهِره
خُصّتْ بذكرٍ حَسنْ
And flourishing in building
Singled out for good mention
منازلٌ رَحيبه
وبالمنى خَصِيبه
Spacious dwellings
Filled with wishes
وللهَنا مُجيبه
وهي أعزُّ موطن
Responsive to our prayers
And it is the dearest homeland
علومها حقائقُ
فهومها رقائقُ
Its knowledge is truths
Its insights are subtleties
رموزها دقائق
تحلو لأهل الفِطن
Its symbols are intricacies
Sweet to the wise
أما ترى الأهالي
ترقَى ذُرى المعالي
See how the locals
Rise to the heights of glory
هم سادةٌ موالي
جمال وجه الزمن
They are loyal nobles
The beauty of the age
أبناؤها رجالُ
لم يثنهم مجالُ
Her sons are men
Whom no arena fazed
ولا بهم أوجال
في ليل وقعٍ دَجُن
Nor did any gloom faze them
In darkest fallen nights
وذوقهم مطبوعُ
وقدرهم مرفوعُ
Their taste is innate
Their worth is exalted
وصيتهم مسموع
بشرف التمدن
Their reputation is heard
With the nobility of civilization
وجندهم صنديدُ
وقلبه حديدُ
And her soldiers are staunch
With hearts of iron
وخصمه طريد
بل مُدرجٌ في كفن
Vanquishing their foes
Rather, shrouding them in their winding sheets
كل فتىً جليلْ
يعشق وادي النيلْ
Every noble youth
Who loves the Nile valley
كم فيه من نزيلْ
يقول مصر وطني
How many dwell in it
Saying Egypt is my homeland
فإن تَرُمْ إسعادا
يا سعدُ دعْ سعادا
So if you seek prosperity
O Saad, leave Saada
ولذْ بمنْ أعادا
لمصرَ فخرها السَّني
And enjoy who restored
Egypt's ancient pride
صادقُ وعدٍ محسنُ
وذكرُهُ يُسحتسنُ
True to his good promise
His mention is beautiful
ولا تزال الألسنُ
تشدو بذكرِ المحسن
And tongues will never cease
Praising the benefactor
ربُّ عُلاً وحسبِ
عن جده وعن أبِ
Lord of highness and lineage
From his grandfather and father
فقلْ لمصر انتسبي
إلى جريلِ المننْ
Tell Egypt to attribute herself
To the bountiful donor
أدامُه ربُّ العلا
أميرَ عِزٍ وولا
May God sustain
The Prince of might and rule
بجاه طه مَن علا
بالعدلِ جورَ الفتنْ
By the status of the exalted Taha
With justice overcoming strife
