يا بَني النيلِ تَقَضّى صَومُكُم

فَاِبتَغوا بِالبِرِّ عُقبى الأَتقِياء

O people of the Nile, your fast has ended

So seek righteousness, the reward of the pious

وَزَكاةُ الفِطرِ هَذا يَومُها

فَاِجعَلوها لِيَتامى الشُهَداء

And the zakat al-fitr is due on this day

So give it to the orphans of the martyrs

غيظَتِ الأَنواءُ مِمّا اِنهَمَرَت

في يَدِ المُختارِ أَيدي الكُرَماء

The weather was enraged at the downpour

That fell into the hands of the Chosen One, the generous

طافَ يَدعو كُلَّ سَمحٍ مُفَضلٍ

سائِغِ المَعروفِ مَعسولِ العَطاء

He went around calling every noble generous man

Of agreeable deeds and sweet gifts

صادِقِ الإيمانِ يَخشى رَبَّهُ

وَيَرى رِضوانَهُ خَيرَ الجَزاء

Truthful in his faith, fearing His Lord

And seeing His pleasure as the best reward

يا رَسَولَ اللَهِ يَمشي حَولَهُ

مَلَأُ الرُسلِ وَوَفدُ الأَنبِياء

O Messenger of God, walking around him

Are the multitudes of messengers and the delegations of prophets

لَكَ مِن مِصرَ وَإِن غيظَ العِدى

ما أَقَلَّت مِن نُفوسٍ وَثَراء

You have in Egypt, though the enemies were enraged

What diminished souls and wealth
