بَشائر تَوفيقٍ بِها العيد دائمُ

وَبَينَ يَديهِ السَعدُ في مَصر قائمُ

Tidings of success make this feast everlasting,

And good fortune stands before it in Egypt upright.

وَبَيت مَعاليه الرصين أَساسه

لَهُ اِرتفعت في الخافقين دَعائم

And his solid dignified house - its foundation

Pillars for it are raised up into the horizons.

وَطالعه السامي يشير بِأَنه

سَتنجح في الأَعمال مِنهُ العَزائم

And his lofty horoscope indicates that

He will accomplish noble deeds with determination.

وَينشر في الأَوطان أَنوار حكمه

بيقظته وَالغير في الغيّ نائم

And he will spread in the lands the lights of his rule,

With his vigilance, while others in neglect are sleeping.

وَيغمر بالإِحسان أَفضل أُمةٍ

بِهِ قَلبُها لِلّه بِالطَبع هائم

And he will overwhelm the best of nations with kindness -

For God her heart by nature is ever yearning.

وَيَسعى إِلى ما فيهِ غاية نَفعها

بحزمٍ لَهُ بِالشُكر يلهج رائم

And he will strive for what is most beneficial for her,

With wisdom - grateful hymns for him keep chanting.

وَيشرح مِنها صَدرَها بِمَعارفٍ

لَهُ اِنعقدت تيجانها وَالعَمائم

And he will relieve her breast with knowledge -

For him her turbans and crowns keep bowing.

وَيَعفو عَن الجاني بحلم تظاهرت

عَلَيهِ لَنا في كُل شَيء عَلائم

And he forgives the sinner with a clemency that

In all things keeps showing us clear signs.

وَيحذو كإسماعيل حذو محمدٍ

عليٍّ وَإِبراهيم فيما يلائم

And he follows, like Ishmael, the way of Muhammad,

Ali, and Abraham in what is fitting.

وَيركض في مضمار كل فضيلة

بِسابق فكرٍ ما تعدّاه حائم

And he races in the track of every virtue

With an agile mind none roaming can outpace.

وَيصدع بِالحَق المبين من اِعتَدى

وَلا ينثني حَتّى تَلين الشَكائم

And he proclaims the clear truth against transgressors,

Nor wavers until even the stubborn relent.

وَيظفر بِالحَمد الجَزيل الَّذي بِهِ

يُقابله مِنا مصلٍّ وَصائم

And he attains abundant praise - for which

We face him, praying and fasting, to requite.

وَتُهدَى إِلى علياه مِنا مَدائحٌ

بِها تَتَغنّى في التَهاني حَمائم

And odes are presented to his sublimity -

With them ring doves in celebration recite.

وَينشده في العيد مجدي مؤرِّخاً

بَشائر تَوفيق بِها العيد دائم

And Majdi lauds him on the feast, chronicling

Tidings of success make this feast everlasting.
