الدَهر قابل بِالتَهاني وَالتَحيهْ

وَصفا سُرور يُوسف لِلعَسكريهْ

Time greeted him with congratulations and welcome

Describing Yusuf's joy to the army

وَرِضا سَعيدِ الملك عَنهُ زاده

فَرحاً بِهِ اِبتهجت نُفوسٌ هاشميه

And the king's pleasure with him increased

So the Hashimite souls rejoiced for him

وَتَبسمت لِقبوله أَيامنا

في مَصرنا وَالبشر قَد عَم البَريه

And our days smiled at his acceptance

In our Egypt, good news had spread everywhere

وَتَفاخَرت بيض الصفاح بِعَودة

طربت لَها سمر الرِماح السمهريه

The whites of spears took pride in his return

Bronze lances were gladdened for it

وَعَلى البَنادق لاحَ رَونَق بَهجة

بِوجوده بَينَ الجُنود الداوريه

And on the rifles shone the splendor of delight

With his presence among the Deawar soldiers

يا أَيُّها الصدّيق طب نَفساً وَعش

في نعمة ياذا المَعالي كسرويه

O friend, relax and live in bounty

O you of glorious traits and lineage Sasravi

وَاصفح فَقَد حَلف الزَمان بِأَنَّه

يَأتي بِما يُرضيك مِن تحف سَنيه

Forgive, for time has sworn

That it will bring you pleasing gifts

فَالحَمد لِلّه الَّذي كَبت العِدا

وَحَباك بِالإِقبال وَالرتب العَليه

So praise be to God who defeated the enemies

And granted you success, and high office

وَكَساك مِن حلل المَهابة ما بِهِ

يَمتاز كُل مُوفَّق حسن الطَويه

And clothed you in robes of awe, with which

Every successful man of good stock is distinguished

لا زلت في جَيش السَعيد محمد

تَزداد تشريفاً صَباحاً مَع عَشيه

You remain in the army of happy Mohamed

Ever increasing in rank, morning and evening

ما قالَ مَجدي في الهَناء مُؤرِّخاً

دامَت لِيُوسف حية رتبٌ بَهيه

Magdi said in praise, chronicling

Long live Yusuf of the splendid ranks
