يومٌ سعيد على الأيام يفتخرُ

بكوكب ناطق ألفظه دررُ

A joyous day boasts over days

With a speaking planet whose utterances are pearls

سماه توفيق بارينا ووفقه

فوافق البدوَ في تمادحه الحضر

Tawfiq named it Bareena and granted it success

So it agreed with the Bedouins in praising the civilized

فاكرم به ملكاً ما ذمه بشرٌ

ولم يكن في الورى كفواً له بشر

Thus honoring a king no human blamed

And there was none in the world equal to it among humans

يرجى نداه ويخشى الخصمُ سطوته

كالبحر يوجد فيه الخير والخطر

Its bounty is hoped for and the enemy fears its might

Like the sea in which there is good and danger

ما مصر إلا نعيمٌ نورُ طلعته

نُوَّارها وندى راحاته الثمر

Egypt is nothing but the bliss of its rising

Its brilliance and the dew of its rest

وما الغريب بظام تحت رايته

ومن يديه البحار العشر تنهمر

And the stranger is not in darkness under its flag

And from its hands the ten seas flow

اللَه يحرسه من عين حاسده

فإنه للبرايا السمع والبصر

May God protect it from the eye of envier

For it is to the lands hearing and sight
