بَني مِصرَ اِرفَعوا الغار

وَحَيّوا بَطَلَ الهِندِ

O sons of Egypt, lift up the banner

And salute the hero of India

وَأَدّوا واجِباً وَاِقضوا

حُقوقَ العَلَمِ الفَردِ

Fulfill your duty and pay

The rights of the unique flag

أَخوكُم في المقاساةِ

وَعَركِ المَوقِفِ النَكدِ

Your brother in adversity

And the harsh moment of truth

وَفي التَضحِيَةِ الكُبرى

وَفي المَطلَبِ وَالجُهدِ

And the great sacrifice

And the demand and effort

وَفي الجُرحِ وَفي الدَمعِ

وَفي النَفيِ مِنَ المَهدِ

And the wound and the tear

And the exile from the cradle

وَفي الرِحلَةِ لِلحَقِّ

وَفي مَرحَلَةِ الوَفدِ

And the journey for truth

And the stage of delegation

قِفوا حَيّوهُ مِن قُربٍ

عَلى الفُلكِ وَمِن بُعدِ

Stop and salute him from near

On the ship and from afar

وَغَطّوا البَرَّ بِالآسِ

وَغَطّوا البَحرَ بِالوَردِ

And cover the land with mourning

And cover the sea with flowers

عَلى إِفريزِ راجبوتا

نَ تِمثالٌ مِنَ المَجدِ

On Ifriza Rajabuta

A statue of glory

نَبِيٌّ مِثلُ كونفُشيو

سَ أَو مِن ذَلِكَ العَهدِ

A prophet like Confucius

Or of that era

قَريبُ القَولِ وَالفِعلِ

مِنَ المُنتَظَرِ المَهدي

Close in word and deed

To the expected redeemer

شَبيهُ الرُسلِ في الذَودِ

عَنِ الحَقِّ وَفي الزُهدِ

Resembling the messengers in protection

Of truth and in asceticism

لَقَد عَلَّمَ بِالحَقِّ

وَبِالصَبرِ وَبِالقَصدِ

He truly taught with truth

And patience and moderation

وَنادى المَشرِقَ الأَقصى

فَلَبّاهُ مِنَ اللَحدِ

And called upon the Far East

So it responded from the grave

وَجاءَ الأَنفُسَ المَرضى

فَداواها مِنَ الحِقدِ

And the sick souls came

And he cured them of hatred

دَعا الهِندوسَ وَالإِسلا

مَ لِلأُلفَةِ وَالوُدِّ

He called the Hindus and Islam

To friendship and affection

بِسِحرٍ مِن قُوى الروحِ

حَوى السَيفَينِ في غِمدِ

With magic from the powers of the spirit

He sheathed the two swords in the scabbard

وَسُلطانٍ مِنَ النَفسِ

يُقَوّي رائِضَ الأَسدِ

And a rule from the soul

That strengthens the tamer of lions

وَتَوفيقٍ مِنَ اللَهِ

وَتَيسيرٍ مِنَ السَعدِ

And harmony from God

And facilitation from good fortune

وَحَظٍّ لَيسَ يُعطاهُ

سِوى المَخلوقِ لِلخُلدِ

And a fortune given to no one

Except the created for eternity

وَلا يُؤخَذُ بِالحَولِ

وَلا الصَولِ وَلا الجُندِ

And not taken by strength

Or cunning or armies

وَلا بِالنَسلِ وَالمالِ

وَلا بِالكَدحِ وَالكَدِّ

Nor by lineage or wealth

Or toil or effort

وَلَكِن هِبَةُ المَولى

تَعالى اللَهُ لِلعَبدِ

But a gift from the Exalted Lord

May God be exalted, to the servant

سَلامُ النيلِ يا غَندي

وَهَذا الزَهرُ مِن عِندي

Peace of the Nile, O Gandhi

And this flower is from me

وَإِجلالٌ مِنَ الأَهرا

مِ وَالكَرنَكِ وَالبَردي

And reverence from the pyramids

And the sphinx and the Nile Valley

وَمِن مَشيَخَةِ الوادي

وَمِن أَشبالِهِ المُردِ

And from the elders of the valley

And its rebellious youth

سَلامٌ حالِبَ الشاةِ

سَلامٌ غازِلَ البُردِ

Peace to the milker of sheep

Peace to the spinner of yarn

وَمَن صَدَّ عَنِ المِلحِ

وَلَم يُقبِل عَلى الشُهدِ

And those who turned from molasses

And did not incline towards honey

وَمَن تركَبُ ساقَيهِ

مِنَ الهِندِ إِلى السِندِ

And those who straddle their legs

From India to Sindh

سَلامٌ كُلَّما صَلَّيـ

ـتَ عُرياناً وَفي اللِبدِ

Peace whenever you prayed

Naked and in rags

وَفي زاوِيَةِ السِجنِ

وَفي سِلسِلَةِ القَيدِ

And in the prison corner

And in chains

مِنَ المائِدَةِ الخَضرا

ءَ خُذ حِذرَكَ يا غَندي

From the green feast

Take your precaution, O Gandhi

وَلاحِظ وَرَقَ السيرِ

وَما في وَرَقِ اللوردِ

And observe the chess pieces

And what is in the cards

وَكُن أَبرَعَ مَن يَلـ

ـعَبُ بِالشَطرَنجِ وَالنَردِ

And be more skilled than those

Who play with chess and dice

وَلاقي العَبقَرِيّينَ

لِقاءَ النِدِّ لِلنِدِّ

And meet the geniuses

As an equal to his equal

وَقُل هاتوا أَفاعِيَكُم

أَتى الحاوي مِنَ الهِندِ

And say, bring your snakes

The charmer has come from India

وَعُد لَم تَحفِلِ الذامَ

وَلَم تَغتَرَّ بِالحَمدِ

And promise not to be distracted by blame

Or fooled by praise

فَهَذا النَجمُ لا تَرقى

إِلَيهِ هِمَّةُ النَقدِ

For this star cannot be reached

By the ambitions of criticism

وَرُدَّ الهِندَ لِلأُمـ

ـةِ مِن حَدٍّ إِلى حَدِّ

And return India to the nation

From end to end
