مُذ أَنصف الدَهر وَزال الحائلُ

وَفازَ بِالسبق اللَبيب العاقلُ

Since time immemorial, and as fate fades,

The wise and reasonable have won the race.

وَنجم شاهين بَدا وَإِنَّهُ

في طالع الإقبال بَدر كاملُ

The star of Shahin has risen, and he

Is a full moon in the sky of glory.

وَإِن هَذا الشَهم دُون غَيره

بِفَضله لَيسَ لَهُ مماثل

This valiant one, above all others,

Is unmatched in his excellence.

وَإِنَّهُ سيهتدي بِرَأيه

مِن الجُيوش فارس وَراجل

With his wisdom he will guide

Both cavalry and infantry.

قالَت تُهنّيه المَعالي أَرّخوا

في مصر شاهين فَريق عادل

The nobility congratulate him saying:

In Egypt, Shahin is a just leader.
