وَاذْكُرْ لَهُ فَضْلَ التَّعاوُنِ يَقْتَفِي

فِيهِ طَريقَ شَقِيقِهِ المِفْضَالِ

Remember his excellence in cooperation

Following in this the path of his noble brother

رَأْيٌ بِهِ إِفْلاَحُ مِصْرَ وَعِزُّهَا

نَسَجَاهُ مِنْ بِرٍ عَلَى مِنْوَالِ

An opinion with which is Egypt's success and glory

Woven of righteousness in an excellent manner

عُمَرٌ إِلَيْهِ دَعَا وَأَحْمَدُ لَمْ يَدَعْ

سَعْياً يَسِيرُ بِهِ إِلى الإِكْمَالِ

Umar called him to it, and Ahmed did not stop

A slight effort by which to reach perfection

فَالْيَوْمَ إذْ بَلَغَ التعَاوُنُ مَا نَرَى

فِي مِصْرَ مِنْ شَأْنٍ وَمِنْ إِقْبَالِ

So today when cooperation has reached what we see

Of Egypt's affairs and prosperity

فَلْيَذْكُ فِي القَوْمِ الثَّنَاءُ عَلَيْهِمَا

طِيباً كَمَا يَذْكُو نَسِيمُ غَوَالِي

Let praise in the people for them both be good

As the scent of plants in a soft breeze
