النِّيلُ وَالْمَلِكُ المُنِيلُ كِلاَهُمَا

بَحْرٌ يَفِيضُ بِسَابِغِ الْبَرَكَاتِ

The Nile and the generous king, both

Are seas overflowing with abundant blessings.

أَذْكَى العُقُولِ يَسُوسُ أَذْكى تُرْبَةٍ

فَيُرِيكَ مُعْجِزَتَيْنِ فِي الإِنْبَاتِ

The most brilliant mind governs the most fertile soil

And reveals to you two miracles in growth.
