بُشراك يا مصر تيهي الآن وَافتخري

بِالآصفيّ عَلى الأَمصارِ وَالدولِ

Rejoice, O Egypt, your wandering has ended now, so take pride

In Al-Asefy over all nations and states

صدر الصدور الَّذي أَحيا بِهمتِه

وَعَزمه دَولةَ العرفان وَالعمل

The chief of chiefs who revived with his determination

And resolve the state of knowledge and deed

وَالجَهلَ تَحتَ طباق الأَرض أَنزلَهُ

وَالعلمَ أطلعه في دارة الحمل

And ignorance he brought down under the earth's crust

And raised knowledge in the abode of glory

فيا لَهُ مِن عَزيزٍ مصرُ زينتُها

بِحُسنِ مرآه لا بالحُلْيِ والحلل

What a mighty man whose decoration of Egypt

Is by the beauty of his mirror, not jewelry and garments

قَد أَصبَحت كَعبةً للعلم تُقصَدُ من

أَقصى البِلاد كَما في الأعصُرِ الأُوَل

It has become a shrine of knowledge, visited

From the furthest lands as in the early eras

وَكَيفَ لا وَلَها رُدَّت بضاعتُها

بِهمة الداوري كَهفِ النَدى البطل

And how not, when its merchandise was returned to it

By the efforts of Al-Daweery like the valiant cave of refuge

أَبقاه ربي بِها طُول المَدى لِتَرى

مِن عَدلِهِ فَوقَ ما تَرضى مِن الأَمل

May God keep him in it for a long time to see

From his justice more than the desired hopes
