هتفتُ وقد بدت مصر لعيني

رفاقي تلك مصر يا رفاقي

I called out as Egypt appeared before my eyes

My friends, that is Egypt, O my friends

أتدفعني وقد هاضت جناحي

وتجذبني وقد شدت وثاقي

Do you push me away though my wings are folded

And pull me though my ties are drawn

خرجت من الديار أجر همي

وعدت إلى الديار أجر ساقي

I left my home though it pained me

And returned though my legs protested
