هَلْ فِي عِلاقَةِ مِصْرَ بِالسُّودَانِ

مَا لا يَوَدُّ دَوَامَهُ القُطْرَانِ

Is there in the relation of Egypt to Sudan

What tar does not wish for its continuance?

يَا بَعْثَةَ الشَّرَفِ الَّتِي وَفَدَتْ وَفِي

كُلِّ القُلُوبِ لَهَا أَعَزُّ مَكَانِ

O delegation of honor which has come

In all hearts you have the most precious place

لَقَيَتْكَ مِصْرُ وَمَا تَغَالَتْ مُلْتَقَىً

أُمٍّ لأَيْرَارِ مِنَ الوُمدَانِ

Egypt has received you, not stinting

A mother's embrace of virtuous sons

مَزْهُوَّةً بِالزَّائِرِينَ أُولى التُّقَى

وَالعِلْمِ وَالإقْدَامِ وَالإِحْْسَانِ

Joyous with the eminent visitors

Of piety, knowledge, courage and benevolence

مَا قَصَّرَتْ عَنْ وَاجِبٍ تَقْضِي بِهِ

لَكُمُ الكَرَامَةُ وَهْوَ فِي الإِمْكَانِ

It has not failed in any duty which would gain

For you esteem, if it was within its means

وَمِنَ الإِتَاحَاتِ الجَمِيلَةِ عِنْدَهَا

عَوْدُ الرَّئِيسِ وَعَوْدُكُمْ فِي آنِ

And of its fine gestures, the return of the President

And your return at the same time

عَادَ الرَّئِيسُ مُحَقِّقاً آمَالَهَا

فَالعِيدُ فِي أَرْجَائِهَا عِيدَانِ

The President has returned, fulfilling its hopes

So, the feast in its bounds is two feasts

أَرْسَى بِهَا الدُّسْتُورَ وَاسْتِقْلالُهَا

بَلَغَ التَّمَامَ مَوَطَّدِ البُنْيَانِ

He has established in it the constitution and its independence

Reaching completeness, firmly constructed

وَتَفَكَّكَتْ أَغْلالُهَا وَتَقَلَّصَتْ

عَنْهَا ظِلالُ البَغْي وَالعُدْوَانِ

Its shackles have disintegrated and withdrawn

From it the shadows of tyranny and aggression

ثَمَرَاتُ مَا غَرَسَتْ يَدَا سَعْدٍ وَمَا

أَرْوَتْ نُفُوسَ الشِّيبِ وَالشُّبَّانِ

Fruits of what Saad's hand planted and what

Watered the souls of old and young

شهَدَاءُ لَمْ تَعْلُ الذُّرَى أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ

وَدِمَاؤُهُمْ فِي القَّاعِ وَالأَرْكَانِ

Martyrs whose names the dust does not know

And their blood in the plains and monuments

سَقَتِ الغَوَادِي ظَامِئَاتٍ خُلُوعِهِمْ

سَيْباً مِنَ الرَّحَمَاتِ وَالرُّضْوَانِ

Their devotions have watered the thirsty valleys

With mercy and satisfaction

أَحْبِبْ بِيَوْمِ النَّصْرِ وَالإِخْوَانِ فِي

أَفِيَاءِ سَيْفِ النَّصْرِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ

Love the day of victory and the brethren in

The loyal swords of victory meeting

وَأَعَاظِمُ القُطْرَينِ مُجْتَمِعُونَ مِنْ

زُعَمَاءِ أَوْ عُلَمَاءِ أَوْ أَعْيَانِ

And the grandees of both countries gathered

Of leaders, scholars, and noblemen

تَجْلُو الخُلاصَةُ مِنْ رِجَالاتِ الحِمَى

أَلْطَافَهَا لِخُلاصَةِ الضَّيْفَانِ

The essence of the zealous men

Its kindness to the essence of the two guests

فِي رَوْضَةٍ أَنِفٍ مُنَسَّقَةِ الحِلَى

نَسَقاً تَقِرُّ بِحُسْنِهِ العَيْنَانِ

In a blooming garden, beautifully adorned

Adorned in its beauty by both eyes

تَتَنَاشَدُ الزِّينَاتُ فِي إِكْرَامِهِمْ

مَا لَيْسَ يَنْشُدُ شَاعِرٌ بِلِسَانِ

Vying in honoring them, the embellishments

What no poet's verse has accomplished

هَلْ فِي أَزَاهِرِهَا وَفِي رَايَاتِهَا

إِلاَّ بَدِيعٌ لِلنُّهَى وَمَعَانِ

Or the verse of flowers and basil surpassed

What the word of lips has not conveyed

بَيْنَ ارْتِقَاصِ الظِّلِّ فِيهَا وَالسَّنَى

وَتَغَازُلَ الأَضْوَاءِ وَالأَلْوَانِ

The glance of eyes has, most eloquently

So may Egypt live, and its part Sudan

مَا لَمْ يَجِدْ نَظْمُ القَريضِ أَجَادَهُ

أَوْ زَادَ نَظْمُ الوَرْدِ وَالرَّيْحَانِ

And may the unity of Egypt and Sudan live

And long live Farouk the rightly guided King

مَا لَمْ يَفِدْ لَفْظُ الشِّفَاهِ أَفَادَهُ

لَحْظُ العُيُونِ بِأَفْصَحِ البَيَّانِ

And be honored under his banner, both countries

فَلْتَحْيَا مِصْرُ وَشَطْرُهَا سُودَانُهَا

وَلتَحْيَا وِحْدَةُ مِصْرَ وَالسُّودَانِ

وَليَحْيَا فَارُوقُ المَلِيكُ المُفْتَدَى

وَيَعِزُّ تَحْتَ لِوائِهِ القُطْراَنِ
