عَزيزُ القُطرِ مَولانا الخِديوي

أَدامَ اللَهُ دَولَتَهُ العَلِيَّه

Our beloved Viceroy of Egypt

May God make his rule everlasting

رَأى الشَهمَ الوَجيهِ بِعَينِ حَزمِ

وَقَدِّر قَدرَ فِطنَتِهِ الزَكِيَّه

He saw the noble youth with discerning eyes

And recognized his pure, brilliant perception

وَأَهداهُ وَيا نِعمَ الهَدايا

بِثاني رُتبَةٍ مِنهُ بَهِيَّه

And granted him, what a fine gift,

The exalted second-class rank

فَناسَبَ مَجدَها مَجداً لَدَيهِ

وَجانِس قَدرَها أَصلَ السَجِيَّه

Which befits his glory before him

And matches his lineage, the noble roots

وَحَقَّ لَن نورَخها كمالاً

لِعَبدِ القادِرِ الرُتَبِ السَنِيَّه

And truly, we shall never lower it, perfection

For Abdul Qadir, the highest ranks
