أَقِيلوا أَخَاكُمْ إِذَا مَا عَثَرْ

فَإِنَّ الْجَمِيلَ جَمِيلُ الأَثَرْ

Show mercy to your brother when he stumbles

For the virtuous have virtuous traces

وَأَوْلُوهُ نَصْراً عَلَى طارِئٍ

يُبِيدُ الشَّبَابَ إِذَا مَا انْتَصَرْ

And support him against misfortunes

That destroy youth when they prevail

وَصُونُوا المُوَاطِنَ مِنْ عِلَّةٍ

إِذَا مَا تفَشَّت أَتَتْ بِالْعِبَرْ

And protect the citizens from an affliction

When it becomes prevalent, it brings lessons

أَيَهْلِكُ مَنْ يُرْتَجَى بُرْؤُهُ

وَفِيكُمْ شُعُورٌ وَفِيكُمْ نَظَرْ

Will he who is hoped for deliverance perish

While you have feelings and insight

بِأَدْنَى المُضَيَّع فِي لَهْوِكُمْ

تَقُونَ الْبِلاَدَ أَشَدَّ الْخَطَرْ

With the slightest negligence during your frivolity

You jeopardize the country, gravely endangered

هَنِيئاً لِمَنْ يَدْرَأُ النَّازِلاَ

تِ بِبَعْضِ الصِّلاَتِ إِذَا مَا قَدِرْ

Congratulations to those who avert the calamities

With some prayers when they can

بِلاَدُكُمُ جَنَّة لِلنَّعيمِ

وَتُنْذِرُها لَفْحَةٌ مِنْ سَقَرْ

Your country is a paradise of bliss

Threatened by a blast from Hell

إِذَا الدَّاءُ كدَّرَ ذَاكَ الصَّفا

ءَ فَقَدْ سَاءَ وَرْدٌ وَسَاءَ الصَّدَرْ

When illness disturbs that serenity

The flowers and hearts are saddened

أَمَا تَشْتَرُونَ بِبَعْضِ الدَّرَا

هِمِ كُلَّ فَتىً طَالِعٍ كَالْقَمَرْ

Will you not buy with some cares

Every rising youth like the moon

وَكُلَّ فتَاةٍ ذَوَى غُصْنُها

وَكانَ يُرَجَّى لأَحْلَى الثَّمرْ

And every maiden whose branch has withered

And who was hoped to bear the sweetest fruit

مَنالُ السَّلاَمَةِ دَانٍ لِمَنْ

تُعِينُونَ فِي حَضَرٍ أَوْ سَفَرْ

The price of security is helping those

You assist, at home or on a journey

وَفِي مِصْرَ مُنْتَجَعَاتٌ بِهَا

شَفَاءُ الصُّدُورِ وَدَرْءُ الْغِيَرْ

And in Egypt there are retreats

That heal hearts and ward off strangers

يُجَدِّدُ فِيهَا قُوَاهُ الضَّعِيفُ

فَيُجْلي بِشَتَّى حَلاَهُ الْبَصَرْ

The weak regain their strength in them

And see varieties of beauty through their eyes

وَيَرْجِعُ مِنْهَا الْعَلِيلُ الْكلِيلُ

بِجِسْمٍ يَصِحُّ وَعَيْنٍ تَقَرْ

And the frail ill return from them

With healthy bodies and rested eyes

فَيَا نُخْبَةَ السَّيِّدَاتِ اللَّوَا

تِي نَمَتْ مَجْدَهُنَّ أَعَزُّ الأُسَرْ

So, elite ladies of proud lineage

Whose glory has been the noblest families

جَزَى اللهُ بِالْخَيْرِ مَسْعَاتَكُنَّ

كَذَاكَ تَكُونُ حِسَانُ السِّيرْ

May God reward your efforts with good

Thus, the ways of beneficence continue

وَبُورِك فِي كُلِّ سَمْحٍ كَرِيمٍ

أَجَابَ نِدَاءَ النَّدَى وَابْتَدَرْ

And bless every generous, noble hospitality

That answered the call of generosity and took initiative

أَيَا رَبَّة الْبَيْتِ بَعْضُ النُّفُو

سِ يَدُلُّ عَلَيْهَا جَمَالُ الصُّوَرْ

Oh mistress of the house, some souls

Are evident through the beauty of forms

أَحَب الْخِصَالِ خِصَالُ اللَّوَا

تِي بَذَلْنَ النَّوَالَ وَصُنَّ الْخَفَرْ

The best traits are those of ladies

Who gave generously and guarded their virtue

وَأَزْكَى الْعَوَارِفِ بِيضُ الأَيَا

دِي تَجُودُ بِهِنَّ ذَوَاتُ الْخَفَرْ

And the purest cognizance is that of fair hands

That give freely, belonging to the virtuous
