سَعيد المَعالي للقُلوب دَواؤُها

وَما هُوَ للأَبصار إلا ضياؤُها

His Excellency's well-being is a remedy for hearts

And for sights it is nothing but their radiance

وَصحته للملك والدين منحة

بِها الدَولة الغَرّاء مدّ لواؤها

And his health is a gift for the kingdom and religion

With it the glorious state extends its banner

وَفي هذه الأَوطان أَشرَق بِالشفا

لِهَذا الخديوي أَرضُها وَسَماؤُها

And in these lands he shone with recovery

For this Khedive his earth and its heavens

وَعوفى النَدى وَالمَجدُ وَالجدُّ واِستَوى

عَلى أسِّ حسنِ الاعتدال بِناؤها

The dew, glory, zeal and excellence became balanced

On the foundation of excellent moderation is its building

وَعَلياؤه زال اِنحِرافُ مزاجها

وَعادَت كَما كانَت وَزادَ بَهاؤُها

And its loftiness removed the imbalance of its mood

And it returned as it was and its splendor increased

وَلاحَت شُموس البرء في الحال فاِنجَلَت

غَياهبُ سقمٍ قَد تقشع داؤها

The suns of innocence shone clearly in the situation, so

The gloom of illness that darkened it cleared

وَطابَت لَنا الأَوقات في مَصره الَّتي

بصحبته صحت وَراق صَفاؤُها

And times became good for us in his Egypt which

Through his company became healthy and its purity pleased

وَبَشَّره فيها بطول بَقائه

مآثرُ لا يحصى عَلَيهِ ثَناؤُها

And the achievements that cannot be fully praised

Gave him good tidings of his lasting in it

فَقُلت أَهنيه بِذاك مؤرّخا

شِفاء سَعيد للصدور شِفاؤها

So I said I congratulate him on that chronicling

The recovery of Sa'eed is a remedy for hearts
