في ساحَةِ البَدَوِيِّ حَلَّت ساحَةٌ
عِزُّ البِلادِ بِعِزِّها مَوصولُ
In Badawi's square a splendid square descended
The glory of the country is linked to its glory
وَأَتى الحُسَينُ يَزورُ قُطبَ زَمانِهِ
يَرعى وَيَحرُسُ رَكبَهُ جِبريلُ
And al-Husayn came to visit the pole of his time
Gabriel grazes and guards his caravan
زادَت مَواسِمُنا بِطَنطا مَوسِماً
لِمَليكِهِ التَقديسُ وَالتَبجيلُ
Our seasons have increased with Tanta a season
For its sanctified king, glorification and veneration
بِالساحَتَينِ لِكُلِّ راجٍ مَوئِلٌ
وَلِكُلِّ عافٍ مَربَعٌ وَمَقيلُ
With both squares for every desirous one there is a refuge
And for every gentle one there is a square and circle
قُل لِلفَقيرِ إِذا سَأَلتَ فَلا تَخَف
رَدّاً فَما في الساحَتَينِ بَخيلُ
Say to the poor when you ask, do not be afraid
Of refusal, for in both squares there is no miser
بَرَكاتُ هَذي لا يَغيضُ مَعينُها
نَفَحاتُ تِلكَ كَثيرُها مَأمولُ
The blessings of this one, its spring never runs dry
The winds of that one, plentiful are its hopes
قَد أَخصَبَ الإِقليمُ حينَ حَلَلتَهُ
وَالغَيثُ لا يَبقى عَلَيهِ مُحولُ
The region has prospered since you have entered it
And rain does not remain forbidden to it
وَبَدا يَموجُ بِساكِنيهِ وَعِطفُهُ
قَد كادَ مِن طَرَبِ اللِقاءِ يَميلُ
And its affection began to surge with its inhabitants
It almost tilted from the ecstasy of the meeting
ذَكَروا بِمَقدَمِكَ المُبارَكِ مَوقِفاً
قَد قامَ فيهِ أَبوكَ إِسماعيلُ
They recalled with your blessed arrival an occasion
In which your father Abraham took a stand
في مِثلِ هَذا اليَومِ خَلَّدَ ذِكرَهُ
أَثَرٌ لَهُ بَينَ العِبادِ جَليلُ
On a day like this, his memory immortalized
For him among the servants is an exalted trace
نَثَرَ السُعودَ عَلى الوُفودِ وَحَولَهُ
يَتَجاوَبُ التَكبيرُ وَالتَهليلُ
Al Saud scattered generosity upon the delegations around him
Exchanging declarations of God's greatness and praise
دامَت مَآثِرُهُ وَمَن يَكُ صُنعُهُ
كَأَبيكَ إِسماعيلَ كَيفَ يَزولُ
May his achievements last, and whoever's making is
Like your father Abraham, how could it disappear?
فَاِهنَأ بِمُلكِكَ يا حُسَينُ فَعَهدُهُ
عَهدٌ بِتَحقيقِ الرَجاءِ كَفيلُ
Congratulations on your kingdom, O Hussein, for its era
Is one in which hopes are guaranteed to be fulfilled
وَاِنهَض بِشَعبِكَ في الشُعوبِ فَإِنَّما
لَكَ بَعدَ رَبِّكَ أَمرُهُ مَوكولُ
And arise with your people among the nations, for verily
After your Lord, their command rests with you
وَليَهنَئِ البَدَوِيَّ أَنَّ صَديقَهُ
عَن وُدِّهِ المَعهودِ لَيسَ يَحولُ
And let Badawi congratulate that his friend
Is not turning away from his accustomed affection
قَد جاءَهُ يَسعى إِلَيهِ وَحَولَهُ
أَعلى وَأَكرَمُ مَن سَقاهُ النيلُ
He came to him eager, and around him
The highest and most generous of those the Nile quenched their thirst
