رَوى مصرَ بحرٌ جابر الكسر وافرُ
بِهِ رَوضُها في دَولة السَعد زاهرُ
Egypt's land was watered by a generous sea
Its gardens flourished in auspicious times
وَمدّ إليها النيل راحة وامق
إِلى وَصلِها في كُل عام يُبادر
The Nile extended its tranquility and water
Rushing eagerly each year to join it
فضمته مِن شَوقٍ إليه سُهولُها
وَلانَت لَهُ حَصباؤُها وَالمَحاجر
The plains drew it close in longing
Its pebbles and rocks smoothed for it
وَقالَت لَهُ لَما توّرد خدّها
حَياء وقد لاحَت عَلَيها البَشائر
And said to it when its cheeks flushed red
Shyly as good tidings appeared
لَئن غبت عَني فَالسَعيد محمد
أَبو طوسنٍ عَذب المَناهل حاضر
If I'm deprived of you, then blessed Muhammad
Abu Tusun, pure watered valleys, is present
لَهُ اللَه مِن لَيثٍ بِغَيثِ نَوالِه
مَدى الدَهر يُسقَى قاطنٌ وَمُهاجر
May Allah grant him rains instead of drought
Throughout time both resident and emigrant are watered
وَما البَحر إلا من أَنامل جُوده
جَرى فاِرتَوى وَاخضرَّ وَادٍ وحاجر
The sea flows but from his fingers' generosity
It flowed and irrigated valleys and rocks
وَأَخصبت الجدبا وَأَعشب صَخرُها
وَأُصلِح مِنها للزراعة غامر
It made the barren fertile and grassed its stony ground
And made it arable for agriculture
وَذَلِكَ مِن عَدل بِهِ في بِلاده
بِناء المَعالي وَالفَضائل عامر
This is from the justice with which he rules his land
Constructing glories and virtues flourishing
وَكَيفَ وَمِن جَدواه فاز بنعمة
بَنو مَصر وَاِستَغنى نَزيل وَزائر
How could it not when his struggle has brought fortune
To Egypt's people, self-sufficient, no guest or visitor
وَفي يَدِهِ اليُمنى لعافٍ وَمُلحدٍ
يَسارٌ وَمَشهورٌ مِن الغمد باتر
In his right hand a sharp sword for unbeliever and skeptic
In his left a famed blade halfway out of its sheath
وَفي قَلبه المَعمور بِالعَفو رَأفةٌ
طَبيعية مِنها تُسَرُّ الخَواطر
And in his heart full of pardon is innate kindness
From which thoughts are delighted
فَلا زالَ للأَوطان غَوثاً وَحافِظاً
بِعَزم لَهُ مِنهُ علا الرَأي ناصر
So he remains protector and savior of homelands
With determination, its opinion lifted high
وَلا زالَ في جبر الخَليج نثارُه
عَلى الأَرض لا يُحصيه بِالعدّ حاصر
And remains tireless in Gulf War battles
Scattering on earth countless as sand
وَتَحتَ لِواء النَصر بِالأَمر لَم تَزَل
مُبادرة للمهرَجان العَساكر
Beneath the banner of victory his commands
Rush the armies forth for the festival
وَلا انفكَّ عَن نَشر الثَنا فيهِ مُخلصٌ
لآلائه دامَت مَعاليه شاكر
No loyalist ceases to spread his glory
May his greatness endure, thanked
وَلا بَرِحَت لِلنيل تَزهو مَواسمٌ
يُحلِّي بِها جيدَ المَدائح شاعر
The Nile's seasons never cease to bloom
With praise the poet's neck adorns
وَيَنظمها في سَمط أَعياد دَولة
مآثرُها للملك نعمَ المآثر
He strings them on a necklace of state occasions
Its achievements for the King the best achievements
وَفيها يَقول المَجد أَرّختها علا
سَعيد لنهر النيل في مصر جابر
On them glory records the date
Auspicious for the Nile in Egypt all mending
