بِكَ الدَولة الغَراء في مَصر تصعدُ

عَلى هامة البَدر المُنير وَتَسعَدُ

Through you the splendid state in Egypt ascends

To the summit of the shining full moon and is content

وَفي ظلك المَمدود تَبلغ سؤلها

بِحُسن سَداد مِنكَ في الحُكم يُحمد

And through your widespread shade it attains its hopes

Through your excellent, praiseworthy rule

وَيَحيا بِإِذن اللَه مِنها رَميمُها

وَترفَعُ عَنها ما بِهِ العَين تَرمد

And it lives, God willing, despite its wounds

And whatever the eye finds distasteful is lifted from it

وَتَمحو مِن الغَيّ الذَميم رُسومَه

برشد لَها بالامتياز يُؤيد

And from ignorance it erases the base forms

With guidance for it, outstanding and unmatched

وَتَستأصل البَغيَ الوَخيم بِمرهفٍ

عَلى نصرة الإِنصاف في الرَأس يُغمد

And it uproots the terrible corruption with a sword

For championing justice, sheathed at the head

وَتُصمي مِن الجَهل المضر فُؤادَه

بِنبلِ عُلومٍ نَفعُها يَتأكّد

And it makes its heart deaf to harmful ignorance

With the nobility of beneficial sciences that prove their worth

وَبِالحَزم تُوليها مِن الخَصب وَالغنى

وَنَيل المُنى ما فيهِ فَخرٌ مؤبَّد

And with determination it grants it fertile, abundant land

And attainment of wishes, in which is enduring pride

وَتَدفع عَنها كُلَّ خَطب بِهمةٍ

لَها الرَأي وَالتَدبير وَالسَعد أَعبُد

And it deflects from it every peril with effort

Whose opinion, management and fortune are most useful

وَتملؤها عَدلاً وفَضلاً وَحكمةً

وَنبلاً وَإِقبالاً بِهِ الخَصمُ يَشهَد

And it fills it with justice, grace, wisdom

And nobility, prosperity, which the adversary admits

وَتَمنَع عَنها ما عَساه يَصدها

عَن السَبق في مضمار ما يَتجدد

And it prevents from it whatever might bar its path

To excelling in the arena of renewal

وَتَمنحها ما تَبتَغي مِن تَمدن

عَلَيهِ مِن الأَمصار لا شَك تُحسَد

And it grants it whatever advancements in civilization

It desires, which other cities undoubtedly envy

وَتنصر دين اللَه مِنكَ بِنَهضة

يَعز بِها الإِسلام وَالشُرك يَخمد

And through your rise, it champions God's religion

And Islam triumphs and paganism is extinguished

وَيَأمَن مِنا في جِوارك خائفٌ

عَلى نَفسِهِ مِما بِهِ كانَ يوعد

And in your protection the fearful are secure

From what they had been threatened with against themselves

وَتَصفو لَنا الأوقات في عصرك الذي

ينال به الموعود ما منك يعهد

And through your era, our times are set right

In which the hopeful attain what you promise

وتَفتح فيها لِلسَعادة دائِماً

دروباً بها يُثري غُلامٌ وَسَيد

And in it, it always opens paths to fortune

Along which boy and elder alike are enriched

وَتَحمي حِماها مِن عُلاك بِلَمحة

تَقوم لها شمّ الأُنوف وَتقعد

And it protects those under its care with a glance

At which the noses of the insolent stand still

وَتُعمِل في ردّ المَظالم فكرةً

بِنُور الهُدى طُول المَدى تَتَوقّد

And in redressing wrongs it puts to work an idea

With the light of guidance, burning far and wide

وَتَطوي بِلا رَيب سَجلَّ مَطامعٍ

لَها كانَ قَبل الآن غَيرك يُفرَد

And without doubt it folds the register of greedy hopes

That were singled out before you

وَتَصرف في نَشر القَناعة ما بِهِ

بِحار المَلاهي وَالشَراهة تَنفد

And it expends in spreading contentment that which

Fills the sea of frivolity and greed

وَتَنسخُ أَحكاماً قَضَت بابتداعها

أَمورٌ نَهى عَنها النَبيّ محمد

And it repeals rulings that were falsely made

On matters forbidden by the Prophet Muhammad

وَتُحسن تَدريب الجُيوش الَّتي بِها

أُسود الوَغى عِندَ اللقا تَتَبَدّد

And it well trains the armies with which

The lions of strife are scattered when they meet

وَتَغرس في الدُنيا أُصول رَفاهة

عَنادِلُها في كُل رَوض تغرّد

And it plants in the world origins of prosperity

Whose seedlings chirp in every garden

وَتَحتَ لِواء العز تظفر بِالمُنى

وَتَقلع آثار الذين تَمرّدوا

And beneath the banner of glory it attains its wishes

And uproots the vestiges of those who rebelled

وَيَخدمك المَجد المؤثل ما بَدا

هِلالٌ وَما صَلَّى وَصامَ موحد

And eternal, ripened glory serves you

For as long as the crescent has prayed and worshipped the One

وَما تُليت بِالمَدح فيكَ قَصائدٌ

لَها بَلغاءُ النَظم وَالنَثر تَشهَد

And as long as poets with eloquence in verse and prose attest

To the eulogies they've composed in praise of you

وَما قُلت في حسن التَهاني مُؤرِّخاً

لِمَصر بِتَوفيق مِن اللَه مسعد

And as long I say in my congratulations, recording

Egypt's good fortune, divinely ordained
