إِلَىَ أَرْضِ الْكِنَانَةِ قَدْ أَتَيْتُ

وَمِثْلَكِ يَا كِنَانَةُ مَا رَأَيْتُ

To the land of Nile delta I came

And none like you Nile I've seen

وَكَمْ نَهْرٍ قَصَدْتُ , فَمَا رَوَانِيْ

فَعُدْتُ لِمَاءِ نِيْلِكِ فَارْتَوَيْتُ

Many rivers I travelled, but none quenched my thirst

So I returned to your water and got satisfied

وَنَقَّلْتُ الْخُطَىَ شَرْقاً , وَغَرْباً

فَكُنْتِ بِمُهْجَتِيْ أَنَّىَ مَشَيْتُ

I walked east and west

With you in my heart wherever I went

رَعَاكِ اللهُ يَا مِصْرَ الْحَضَارَهْ

وَيَا مَهْدَ الْبُطُوْلَةِ , وَالْجَسَارَهْ

May God protect you Egypt, land of civilization

Cradle of heroism and bravery
