بِأنس سَعيدِ أَبي التَمجيدِ

أَخي التَأييدِ طَيب الأَنفاسْ

With the comfort of Sa'id, my father of glory

My brother of support, of sweet breath

صَفا الأَرواحِ في الأَفراحِ

برشفِ الراحِ مِن المياسْ

Of pure spirits in times of joy

With the drinking of ease, not excess

فَمنه العَدلْ كَساه العَقلْ

ثِياب الفَضلْ خَير لِباس

From him is justice, reason is clothed

In robes of merit, the best attire

وَمِنهُ الحلمْ حَليف الحكمْ

حَباه العلمْ ذكاء إِياسْ

From him is clemency, ally of wisdom

Endowed with knowledge, brilliance of inspiration

فيا خَيّالْ خذ الأَبطالْ

مَع الأَقيالْ في الأَغلاس

So take the brave, O imagination

With the valiant, into captivity

وَيا أَوجي صَد اليولجي

إِذا الطوبجي رَمى المتراسْ

And O warrior, block the fearless

When arrows strike shields

فَزرخ الحَربْ حماة الركبْ

أَزالوا الكربْ عَن الحرّاسْ

Thus War cried out, protectors of the caravan

They removed distress, from the guards

كَذا القرّابْ رَمى الطلابْ

بِنار عَذابْ ذكت في الراسْ

Thus the archers, shot arrows

With punishing fire, igniting foreheads

كَذا الكوبري على النَهرِ

بِهِ نَسري بِلا وسواس

Thus the bridge, over the river

With it we flow, without anxiety

وفي القَلعهْ أَحسن الصَنعهْ

صاحب الرفعهْ عِندَ وَضع أَساسْ

And in the fortress, the best construction

The eminent man, when laying foundations

وَفي ميلادْ أَبى الإِسعادْ

أَتى القصادْ للاستئناسْ

And in the birth, of my father of bliss

Came fate, for good omens

فكل قالْ بِصَوت عالْ

لَهُ الإقبالْ سَعيد الناسْ

So all spoke, in loud voice

For him is prosperity, people's joy

سَعيد العَزمِ مَجيد الحَزمِ

مزيل الوَهمِ عن الجلاسْ

Prosperous is his resolve, glorious his wisdom

Dispelling doubts, from advisors

سَعيد الجُندْ أَثيل المَجدِ

خَليل السَعدِ مَع الإِيناسْ

Prosperous his soldiers, fragrant his glory

Beloved of fortune, with inspiration

أَدام اللَهْ لِمَصر بَقاهْ

فَنِيل نَداهْ بِلا مِقياس

May God eternalize for Egypt his survival

So the Nile's bounty is without limit
