بَدا مُصطفى في أُفق سَعد وَسؤدد

كَوالده يزهو بِمَصر كَفَرقدِ

Mustafa appeared on the horizon of Saad and Soudad

Like his father, he shone in Egypt like a planet

فَقالَ العُلا عِندَ الولاد مؤرِّخاً

ذَكّي سَما صبحاً بِأَكرَم مَولد

So the eminent said at his birth, recording

He brought intelligence to the sky, with the noblest birth
