يَوْم الْعُبُوْر بِجَيْش مِصْر أَعَادَا

أَرْض الْجُدُوْد وَحَطَّم الاوْغّادّا

The day of crossing, with Egypt's army it repeated

The Day of Crossing, with Egypt's army, restored

The land of borders and crushed the pegs

The land of ancestors, and smashed the wicked horde

فِي صَيْحَة عَذْرَاء شَقّت افُقِها

وَصَحَا الَوَجَوْد يُرِي ابْن مِصْر ارَادَا

In a scream of a maiden that split its horizons

With a pristine cry that rent the horizon's span

And consciousness awoke showing Egypt's son his will

Existence awoke to witness the will of Egypt's man

عَب الْقَنَاة يَقُوْد مِنْه فِيَالِقا

مِنْهَا الاسْوَد تَحَرَّكَت إِرْعَادَا

He crossed the canal leading battalions

He crossed the Canal, leading legions in his wake

From it the thunder roared and moved tumultuously

From it, lions marched forth, causing the earth to quake

فَلَك الْعُبُوَّروَفَوْقَهَا نِيْرَانُهَا

فُتِحَت مَدَافِعُهَا تَمُوْر عَتَادَا

So cross over it while above it are its fires

The vessels of crossing, with fire above them spread

Its cannons opened flooding equipment

Their cannons unleashed, surging with iron and lead

وَالْطَّائِرَات نُسْورَهُن تَحَرَّكَت

تَرْمِي الْعَدُو أَجَابَت القُوّادّا

And airplanes, their eagles moved

The warplanes stirred, their eagles taking flight

Shooting the enemy responding to the leaders

Striking the foe, heeding the call to fight

سِيْنَاء الْحَبِيْبَة عَانَقَت جُنْد الْفِدْي

وَتَزَاحَمَت تُلْقِي الْعَدِي اطِّوّادّا

Beloved Sinai embraced the soldiers of sacrifice

Beloved Sinai embraced the soldiers of sacrifice

And they crowded to meet the enemy tumbling

Rising to cast down the enemy in a vice

بَارْلِيْف فَزَع صَخْرَه وَجُنْوَدّة

لِمَا رَأْي جَيْش الْفِدْي اسَادّا

Barlev panicked, its rock and soldiers

The Bar Lev Line, its rocks and soldiers in dread

When it saw the army of sacrifice dominating

When they saw the redeeming lions charge ahead

عَبَّرَت إِلَي شَرْق الْقَنَاة مُشَاتَهَا

حَمَلَت عَتَاد فَدَائِهَا اسْتِعْدَادَا

It crossed over to the east of the canal carrying

To the Canal's eastern bank the infantry strode

Its equipment, ready for its sacrifice

Bearing the gear of redemption, a heavy load

صَرَخ الْعَدُو أَذَقْت نِيْرَان الْرَّدِي

يَاجُوَلِدِمَائِيّر إنَدَبي اسْتِنْجادّا

The enemy cried out, the fires of response tasted

The enemy shrieked: "I have tasted the fire of doom!"

Oh Dayan bewail calling for help

"O Golda Meir, wail for help in this gloom!"

قَد دَمَّرَت قُوَّات إِسْرَائِيْل فِي

دُشَم لْبارْلِيف هَوَت أَوْتَادا

The crossing forces have destroyed us in killing

Israel's forces were ruined and laid to waste

We don't know how it annihilates us perishing

Bar Lev's bunkers collapsed, their pillars displaced

جَيْش الْعُبُوْر أَصَابَنَا فِي مَقْتَل

لَم نَدْرِي كَيْف يَبِيِّدْنا فَابَادّا؟

Tell America to send us reinforcement

"The Army of Crossing has struck a mortal blow"

Indeed Egypt's son excelled in his powerful striking

"We know not how they crush us, yet down we go"

قَوْلِي لَامْرِيْكا ابْعَثِي مَدَدا لَنَا

إِنَّا هُنَا نُفْنِي فَقَدْنَا الَزَادّا

Seeking Sinai's wealth his purpose

"Tell America to send reinforcements, fast!"

The will, glory, and prevention reached the extent

"We are perishing here, our supplies cannot last"

إِن ابْن مِصْر أَحْسَن قُوَّة بَاسِه

يَبْغِي ثَرِي سِيْنَا إِلَيْه مُعَادا

That he sought, his purpose attained

Truly, Egypt's son has honed his mighty hand

It shook the earth beneath us

Seeking the return of Sinai's cherished land

بَأْس الْارَادَة وَالعِزِينَة وَالْنَّهْي

بَلَغ الْمَدِّي مِمَّا ابْتَغَاه مُرَادا

And changed us to chaff harvested

With might of will, resolve, and wisdom's steady gaze

The Tihami poet said it in words

He achieved the goal he sought in those days

قَد زَلْزَل الْارْض الَّتِي مِن تَحْتِنَا

وَاحَالِنا بَدَدَا وُرَام حَصَّادَا

By which the grieving heart was healed

"He shook the very earth beneath our feet"

And I say to him, your fervor inspired

"Scattering us, reaping us like wheat"

قَد قَالَهَا شَاعِرَه الْتِّهَامِي قَوْلَة

فَشُفِي مِن الّام الْرَءُوَم فُؤَادَا

Egypt's soldiers, honor and integrity

As his poet Al-Tihami once boldly spoke

Its children, Egypt, gathered in one leap

Healing the Mother's heart from pain's heavy yoke

وَانَا أَقُوْل لَه أَثَّرَت حَمَاسَة

بِجُنُوْد مِصْر وَعِزَّة وَسَدَادَا

Looking to revive through them glories

And I say to him: You stirred a fervent fire

From the invisible world their souls met

With pride and aim, raising Egypt's soldiers higher

جُمِعَت بَنِيْهَا مِصْر فِي يَد وَثْبَة

وَتَطَلَّعَت تُحْيِي بِهِم أَمْجَادَا

Loving the forefathers and descendants

Egypt gathered her sons for one mighty leap

Victory hovered, its banners fluttered

To revive the glories that history keeps

مِن عَالَم الْغَيْب الْتَقَت أَرْوَاحُهُم

حُبّا حِّوِي الابَاء وَالأَحْفَادّا

From Badr the great urging steeds

From the unseen realm, their spirits aligned

Al Quds sent its heroes

A love binding sires and grandsons, intertwined

الْنَّصْر ات رَفْرَفَت رَايَاتُه

مِن بَدْر الْكُبْرَي تَحُث جِيَادَا

To shake hands with Yarmouk and the leaders

Victory approaches, its banners unfurled

Leaders crossing over the land of Hittin

From the Great Badr, urging steeds through the world

وَالْقَادِسِيَّة أُرْسِلْت أَبْطَالِهَا

لِّتُصَافِح الْيَرْمُوك وَالقُوّادّا

And the Arab embraced then rolled over

And Al-Qadisiyyah sent her heroes forth

To clasp hands with Yarmouk and the commanders of worth

قُوَّاد يُعْرَب فِي ثَرِي حِطِّيْنِهَا

وَتَعَانَق الْعَرَبِي ثُم تِلْادّا

Arab commanders on Hittin's soil now stand

Embracing the Arab spirit and heritage grand
