ظَلِلْتَ لِمِصْرَ وَ سُودَانِهَا

عَلَى العَهْدِ فِي كُلِّ حَالٍ مُقِيمَا

You sheltered Egypt and her Sudan

Faithfully, in every state remaining steadfast

أَيَنْسَى بَنُو العُرْبِ فِي كُلِّ نَادٍ

نَصِيرَهُمُ الأَرْيَحِيَّ الكَرِيمَا

Do the sons of Arabia in each assembly forget

Their benefactor, the noble, generous Al-Aryahee

وَيَنْسَى الغَرَانِيقُ زَيْنُ الشَّبَابِ

وَشَيْخَ الشَّبَابِ المُهِيبَ الرَّحِيمَا

And do the finches forget the beauty of youth

And the awe-inspiring, gentle sheikh of youth

حَيَاةٌ بَلَوْتَ تَصَارِيفَهَا

وَأَكْثَرُ مَا كُنْتَ فِيهَا مَضِيمَا

A life whose twists you’ve endured

Most often in it aggrieved

بِلطْفِكَ وَالظَّرْفِ فَكَّهْتَهَا

وَطَيَّبْتَ مَوْرِدَهَا وَالنَّسِيمَا

With your kindness and grace you undid it

And its course you gentled, and its soft breezes

وَكَابَدَتْ أَرْزَاءهَا هَازِئاً

صَبُوراً لَقَدْ كُنْتَ حَقّاً حَكِيمَا

Its afflictions you faced scoffing

Patiently, truly you were wise

فَذَرْهَا وَطِبْ بَيْنَ حُورِ الجِنَ

انِ وَوِلْدَانِهَا وَتَمَلَّ النَّعِيمَا

Leave it be and rejoice amongst the houri of heaven

And their boys, and fully enjoy the bliss

أَلا أَيُّهَا السَّادَةُ الحَافِلُونَ

لِذِكْرَى يَحِقُّ لَها أَنْ تَدُومَا

Oh you masters who are plentiful

For a memory deserving for it to last

تَوَافُدُكُمْ عَنْ بَنِي الضَّادِسَرَّى

شُجُوناً وَلَطَّفَ جُرْحاً أَلِيمَا

Your gathering, from the sons of Dhad, has brought

Sorrow, and has soothed a painful wound

تَعِزُّ العُرُوبَةَ مَا تَلْبَثُونَ

عَلَى الخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ عِقْداً نَظِيمَا

You bolster the glory of Arabness, for as long as you

Remain, for good and ill, a cohesive knot

وَما تُضْمِرُونَ الإِخَاءَ الصَّحِيحَ

وَمَا تُظْهِرُونَ الوَفَاءَ الصَّمِيمَا

What you harbor of true brotherhood

And what you show of faithful affection

أَثَابَكُمُ اللهُ أَزْكَى الثَّوابِ

وَأَيَّدَ فَارُوقَ مِصْرَ العَظِيمَا

May God reward you with the most virtuous reward

And support the eminent Farouk of great Egypt
