للوزينا على مصر أيادي

تكلُّ بهن أعناقَ البلادِ

The beauty's hands upon Egypt lie

They bend the necks of countries far and wide

تصدى للشرائعُ ربع قرنٍ

فروّج سوقها بعد الكسادِ

For a quarter century he upheld laws

And revived its markets after their demise

بمدرسةِ الحقوقِ أفاضَ علماً

سرت نفحاتهُ في كلِّ نادِ

From the law school knowledge he imparted

Its breezes blew through every club inside

ألا إنّ القضاءَ له مدينٌ

ولا يدري متى وقت السدادِ

Behold, the judiciary owes him much

Though it knows not when repayment is its right

فدونكَ من ثناءِ القطرِ قسطاً

وآخِر دفعة يومِ المعادِ

So take from your country's praise a share

And save the rest for Judgment Day's respite
