ديارُ مصرَ هي الدنيا وساكنُها

همُ الأنامُ فقابلْها بتقبيلِ

The lands of Egypt are the world, and its inhabitants

Are all the people, so greet it with a kiss

يا مِنْ يباهي ببغدادَ ودِجْلَتها

مصرُ مقدمةٌ والشرحُ للنيلِ

O you who boasts of Baghdad and its Tigris

Egypt is supreme, the Nile is its eloquent spokesman
