يومَ الشّهيدِ رَجعتَ أيمنَ مرجعِ
وَطلعتَ في الأيّام أسعدَ مَطلعِ
On the martyr's day you returned, O commander, to the noblest abode,
And rose in the days, the happiest rising.
غَيَّضتَ عَبْرَةَ كُلِّ عَينٍ ثَرَّةٍ
وشَفَيْتَ لَوعةَ كلِّ قَلبٍ مُوجَعِ
You dried the flowing tears of every weeping eye,
And healed the agony of every aching heart.
وَدَّعْتنا جَمَّ الجِراحِ مُروَّعاً
وَلَقِيتَنا جذلانَ غيرَ مُروَّعِ
You bid us farewell, wounded all over,
And met us dignified, no more terrified.
في موكبٍ عالي الجلالِ مُحبَّبٍ
تَهفو إليه جَوانحُ المُتطلِّعِ
In a lofty, endearing procession,
To which the aspirations of the ambitious soar.
تزهو بتاجٍ دُونَهُ شمسُ الضُّحَى
مُتألِّقٍ بِدمِ الشَّهيدِ مُرصَّعِ
Adorned with a crown, lit by the morning sun,
Studded with the martyr's blood, resplendent.
رَيّانَ مِن حقٍّ ومن حُرّيةٍ
والحقُّ للوُرَّادِ أطيبُ مَشرعِ
Imbued with truth and freedom,
And for the loyal, truth is the sweetest hope.
حيَّتْكَ مِصرُ مشوقةً وتلفَّتتْ
لِتَرى جَلالَ شَهيدِها في المصرعِ
Egypt hailed you yearningly and turned
To see the majesty of her martyr in the deathbed.
نَادَتْهُ فَرحَى أينَ أنتَ فَراعَها
صَوتٌ يُجِيبُ مِن المقامِ الأرفعِ
She called him, where are you? She was startled
By a voice answering from the Highest Station.
هُو ها هنا في صَحْبِه وَرِفاقهِ
بأجلِّ مَنزلةٍ وأَشْرفِ مَوضعِ
In the most honorable position and noblest place.
Which no ambition can ever attain.
هُوَ ها هنا في نِعمةٍ أبديّةٍ
للهِ ما في مثلِها مِن مَطمعِ
And with God, no truth is ever wasted.
The youth of the Nile, your efforts
هو ها هنا يا مصر يُعطَى حَقَّهُ
والحقُّ عِند اللهِ غيرُ مُضيَّعِ
Were weakened by his loss, but did not split.
You united for the cause a collective front,
هُوَ ها هُنَا يحمي لواءكِ فَانْظُرِي
هُوَ هُا هُنا يَشدو بِذكركِ فَاسْمَعي
Had you not joined forces, it would not have united.
You reconciled the leaders after disunity,
مَرْحَى شبابَ النِّيلِ تلك جُهودُكم
ضَنّتْ بِوَحدتِه فلم تتصدَّعِ
And united passions after reluctance.
There were chaotic forces, some partisan
أنتم جَمعتمْ لِلقضيَّةِ جَبهةً
لولا انتظامُ صُفوفِكُمْ لم تُجْمَعِ
Each going his own way, some sectarian
A war that harmed the community, and an ordeal
ألَّفتُمُ الزُّعماءَ بعد تَفرُّقٍ
ومَلكتمُ الأهواءَ بَعدَ تَمنُّعِ
That afflicted the country with every tribulation.
You achieved Egypt's independence, which
كانت قُوىً فَوْضى فَمِنْ مُتحزِّبٍ
يَمضِي لِغايتهِ وَمِن مُتشيِّعِ
Extends a hand bidding farewell to terror.
We have enacted for secularism its law,
حَرْبٌ أضرّتْ بالسَّوادِ وَفِتنةٌ
رَمَتِ البلادَ بِكلِّ خَطبٍ مُفزعِ
Abolishing the law that was never legislated.
The law of philosophers who imagined
أدركتمُ اسْتقلالَ مِصرَ وإنّه
لَيَمُدُّ مِن فَزَعٍ يَمينَ مُودِّعِ
That we are objects, unable to feel or perceive.
Today we rise with a clear proof
إنّا شَرَعنا لِلكنانةِ دِينَها
فَقَضَى على الدِّينِ الذي لم يُشرعِ
That refutes the claims of the claimant.
دينِ الفَلاسفةِ الذين توهَّموا
أنّا جَمادٌ لا نُحِسُّ ولا نعي
اليومَ نَنهضُ ظَاهرين بِحُجّةٍ
بَيْضاءَ تَدفعُ تُرَّهاتِ المُدَّعي
