عيد الأَضاحي للسعيد منادمُ

في مصر وَالمَجد المؤثل خادمُ

Eid Al-Adha is for the happy one, who feasts

In Egypt, and glory serves obediently

وَجَميع أَيام العَزيز كَأَنَّها

أَعيادُ تَشريفٍ لَنا وَمَواسم

And all the days of the dear one are as though

Festivals of honor for us and seasons

وَلنا بِدَولته السَعيدة دائِماً

بَين الأَنام مَواهبٌ وَمَغانم

And through his happy reign we always have

Among people, gifts and spoils

وَبِرأي حضرته الشَريفة دَهرُنا

لِجَميع سُكان البِلاد مسالم

And through his noble opinion our age

For all inhabitants of the countries is peaceful

وَجُنوده مِن حَوله يَوم الوَغى

يَخشى بسالتَها زَعيمٌ راغم

And his soldiers around him on the day of battle

Their bravery is feared by the opposing chief

فمِن السواري مَن يذل لسيفه

مِن بَعد عزٍّ في النِزال مخاصم

So among the cavalry is one whom his sword humiliates

After pride in the fight an opponent

وَمِن المشاة أَسودُ غاب إِن سَطَوا

وَلَّى همامٌ في الحُروب مقاوم

And among the infantry lions of the jungle if they pounce

And a protector in wars resists

وَمدافع الطوبجيّ تهدم ما بنى

مِن كُل حُصن للسَحاب يزاحم

And the canons of the artillery demolish what was built

Of every fortress competing with the clouds

وَالأوجيان كَأَنَّهُم مِن خفةٍ

طيرٌ عَلى رَأس المنافق حائم

And the Oceanians as though from their lightness

Birds above the head of the hypocrite wandering

وَالزرخ مِن تَحت الحَديد رماحهم

فيها المَنونُ عَلى الأَسنة قائم

And the lancers with their spears underneath the iron

In them death stands on the tongues

وَالزنج ما بَين الكَتائب خصمُهم

يُرديه في الهَيجا أَبوهم آدم

And the blacks what between the battalions their opponent

Their father Adam defeats in the melee

وَعَساكر الكوبريّ في سلمٍ وفي

حَربٍ لَهُم نَفعٌ عَظيم دائم

And the Coptic soldiers in peace and in

War have great constant benefit

وَالجَيش يَسعى وَالمهندس قَبله

تَأتي لَهُ في الكَشف مِنهُ مَلاحم

And the army strives and the engineer before it

Come to it in exploration some features

أَما المويسيقي فَفي أَلحانه

حَثٌّ عَلى تَحصيل ما هُوَ لازم

As for the musician so in his melodies

A call to acquire what is necessary

وَزِيادة في حُب أَوطان سَمَت

بِسعيدها وَهُوَ العَزيز الحاكم

And an increase in love of the countries guided

By its happy one, and he is the mighty ruler

وَهوَ المربّي للجنود بِدَولة

فيها تَيَقَّظَ للحَماسة نائم

And he is the one who raised the soldiers in a state

In which the dormant zeal for it was awakened

وَهوَ الَّذي فاضَت عَلى كُل الوَرى

في مَصره مِن راحتيه مَكارم

And he is the one whose kindness flowed upon all the lands

In his Egypt, of his comforts and generosities

وَبعدله وَلَهُ البَقاء قَد اِهتَدى

لِمَديحه بَينَ البَرية ناظم

And by his justice, and his is eternal existence, has been guided

To praise him between humanity a composer

فَكَسا المَباني حلةً محبوكة

بِبَديع مَعنىً هام فيهِ الهائم

So he covered buildings in a woven garment

With the wonderful meaning, in which the passionate is perplexed

وَمَلا الطُروس مِن القَوافي مُخلِصاً

في دين شكر ثبتته دَعائم

And he filled volumes with rhymes, loyally

In the religion of gratitude, supported by pillars

وَعَلى حياض ثَنائه في الداوري

وَرد المصلِّي وَالتقيُّ الصائم

And upon the basin of his praise in the monastery

Lie the worshipper and the devout faster

وَالكل قَد بَسَطوا أَكف ضَراعة

بِدَوام دَولته وَأَمَّن عالم

And all have extended palms praying

For the continuance of his state, and the world wished

لا سِيما في يَوم أُنس أَقبَلَت

فيهِ المَواكب وَالسُرور ملازم

Especially on a day of intimacy in which

The processions and happiness were lasting

وَبِهِ تَباهَت وَاِزدَهَت في سَيرِها

بدروعها وَحَمى حِماها صارم

And by it the displays vied and became prouder in their march

With their armors and the protector protected sternly

وَذوو المناصب وَالمَراتب في الضحى

قَد فازَ مِنهُم بِالقبول القادم

And the officials and the ranks in the morning

Among them the newcomer won acceptance

وَتَأهبوا في زينة بسكينة

لرسوم تشريفٍ وَطاب تَنادم

And they prepared in the adornment calmly

For the customs of honor and conviviality was good

وَبلثم أَقدام السَعيد تمتعوا

وَالدَهر في دار المسرّة باسم

And they enjoyed kissing the feet of the happy one

And time in the abode of joy was smiling

فَغَدوت في العيد الكَبير مهنّئاً

بِخلود ملك سرّ مِنهُ العالم

So I came on the great feast congratulating

On the immortality of the secret of the kingdom from him the world learnt

وَبَقاء شبل بِالوَقار متوّج

لاحَت عَليهِ مِن الفَلاح عَلائم

And the survival of the cub solemnly crowned

On him from success signs appeared

وَمَديد عمر للعزيز حَليفه

نصرٌ يَسود بِهِ مَليكٌ حازم

And long life for the ally the mighty

Victory through which a decisive king prevails

وَمَزيد إِقبال يقول مؤرِّخاً

عيد الأَضاحي للسَعيد منادم

And more favor which a historian says

Eid Al-Adha is for the happy one who feasts
