أَبْدَتْ بَوَاكِيرُ الجِنَانِ

زِينَاتِهَا قَبْلَ الأَوَانِ

The gardens have shown their beauty prematurely

To greet Egypt in the most splendid festival

تُهْدِي تَحِيَّةَ مِصْرَ فِي

أَبْهَى وَأَزْهَى مِهْرَجَانِ

Revealing affection for it

Whose multiples have wound the branches

وَتُبِينُ عَنْ وُدٍّ لَهُ

أَضْعَافُهُ طَيَّ الجَنَانِ

The stars of amicability have emerged in the sky's expanse

Making the signs of the Lord before you the most eloquent translator

شِيَمُ الْكِنَانَةِ فِي السَّمَا

حَةِ قَدْ بَرَزْنَ مِنِ اكْتِنَانِ

Welcome, crown of religion and the world and era's icon

Welcome, rarity of rhetoric, meanings and eloquence

وَجَعَلْنَ آيَاتِ الرَّبِي

عِ لَدَيْكَ أَفْصَحَ تَرْجُمَانِ

The most loyal supporter if truth calls, and the most sufficient helper

And speech through which the dear sheds light on the distant meanings

أَهْلاً بِتَاجِ الدِّينِ وَالدُّ

نْيَا وَعُنْوَانِ الزَّمَانِ

And combining guidance of instinct and refinement of the tongue

This trustee, unmatched in sending the East

أَهْلاً بِنَادِرَةِ الْبَلا

غَةِ وَالمَعَانِي وَالبَيانِ

Has come from the most precious place to the highest position

From the landing place of revelation nearer than the blazing Hira

أَوْفَى مُلَبٍّ إِنْ دَعَا

حَقٌّ وَأَكْفَى مُسْتَعَانِ

He came to the country which knows its high minarets

The country of immortal relics though all in the universe is ephemeral

وَالقَوْلِ شَفَّ بِهِ الْقَرِي

بُ عَنِ الْبَعِيدِ مِنَ المَعَانِي

Of what Pharaoh built with foundations but exhausted every builder

With good fortune, my Master, your precious arrival and safety

وَالجَمْعُ بَيْنَ هُدَى الْيَرَا

عِ وَبَيْنَ تَهْذِيبِ اللِّسَانِ

Where you have settled in this lofty-ranked country

With the feast and wonderful guest, happy are all in splendid Egypt

هَذَا الأَمِينُ وَغَيْرُ بَعْ

ثِ الشَّرْقِ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَمَانِي

The beauty of youth wearing the finest manners, the purest silks

Welcome the most esteemed one raised in the great house generously

قَدْ حَلَّ مِنْ أَغْلَى مَكَا

نٍ فِي ذُرَى أَعْلَى مَكَانِ

The house of glories, prides and piety at every moment

Welcome the one with longest forbearance, who has no equal

مِنْ مَهْبِطٍ لِلْوَحْيِ أَدْ

نَى مِنْ ثَرَاهُ النَّيِّرَانِ

Takes leadership without fear in tribulations or hesitation

Complete in both traits of arranging affairs and distinction

وَافَى إِلَى الْبَلَدِ الَّذِي

يَدْرِي عُلاهُ الْخَافِقَانِ

None can be found like him in the East, neither judge nor scholar

Talk of opinions which the Yemeni spear points to

بَلَدِ الْبَقَايَا الخَالِدَا

تِ وَكُلُّ مَا فِي الْكَوْنِ فَانِي

And nature on which firm principles that build life stand

مِمَّا بَنَى فِرْعَونُ مِنْ

قِدَمٍ فَأَعْجَزَ كُلَّ بَانِي

فِي الْيُمْنِ يَا مَوْلايَ مَقْ

دَمُكَ الْعَزِيزُ وَفِي الأَمَانِ

أُحْلُلْ بِحَيْثُ حَلَلْتَ مِنْ

هَذِي الْبِلادِ رَفِيعَ شَانِ

بِالعِيدِ وَالضَّيْفِ المَجِي

دِ جَمِيعُ مَنْ فِي مَصْرَ هَانِي

زَيْنُ الشَّبَابِ المُلْبِسُ الْ

آدَابِ أَنْقَى طَيلَسَانِ

أَهْلاً بِأَنْجَبِ مَنْ نَمَى الْ

بَيْتُ الْعَظِيمُ بِلا امْتِنَانِ

بَيْتُ المَآثِرِ وَالمَفَا

خِرِ وَالتُّقَى فِي كُلِّ آنِ

أَهْلاً بِذِي الطَّوْلِ الَّذِي

فِي الْحِلْمِ لَيْسَ لَهُ مُدَانِي

وَلِيَ الزَّعَامَةَ غَيْرَ وَا

هٍ فِي الْخُطُوبِ وَغَيْرَ وَانِي

مُتَكَامِلَ الْوَصْفَيْنِ تَصْ

رِيفِ الأُمُورِ وَالاِفْتِنَانِ

هَيْهَاتَ يُلْفَى مِثْلُهُ

فِي الشَّرْقِ مِنْ قَاصٍ وَدَانِي

حَدِّثْ عَنِ الآرَاءِ يَنْ

بُو دُونَهَا النَّصْلُ الْيَمَانِي

وَالخُلْقِ أَثْبَتَ مَا تَقُو

مُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الأُسِّ المَبَانِي
