لِتَعِشْ وَصَفْوُ العَيْشِ غيرُ مَشُوبِ
فريالُ بِكْرُ مَلِيكِنَا المَحْبُوبِ
Live long with untainted life's beauty
Our beloved little royal, so pure
الطِّفلَةُ الملك الَّتي مِنْ مَهْدِهَا
نَظَرَتْ إلى المَحْرُومِ وَالمَحْرُوبِ
The infant princess who since her cradle
Looked upon the deprived and hapless
عِيدُ الأَميرةِ ضُوعِفَتْ بَهَجَاتُهُ
وَالشَّعبُ منها آخِذٌ بِنَصِيبِ
Her birthday festivities were subdued
With people taking but a small share
عَهْدٌ قَشِيبٌ يَوْمَ مَوْلِدِهَا بَدَا
في أَيِّ ثَوْبٍ للحَيَاةِ قَشِيبِ
An arid era it was when she was born
In what garb has life donned its aridity
كَمْ مِنْ مَعَاهِدَ وهْي تَشْرُفُ باسْمِهَا
ضُمِنَ اطِّرَادُ نَجَاحِهَا المَطْلُوبِ
Many pacts bear her name, ensuring
The continuity of their wished success
تُولي الضِّعَافَ مِنَ الْمَعُونَةِ مَا بِهِ
كُلُّ الرِّضَى للرَّبِّ وَالمَرْبُوبِ
She provides the weak all they need to live
Content, well-provided by their Lord
أَوْسَعْتَ يَا فَاروقُ شعبَكَ أَنْعُمَاً
في ظِلِّ غَيْرِكَ لَمْ تُتَحْ لِشُعُوبِ
O Farouk you blessed your people with bounty
None could offer this open-handedness
هَيْهَاتَ يَبْلُغُكَ المُلُوكُ تَطَوُّلاً
لو قُورِنَ الموْهُوبُ بِالموْهُوبِ
You so tower above other kings, none can reach you
When the gifted's weighed against the gifted
مَا يَنْقَعُونَ صَدىً بِرَشْحِ أَكَفِّهِمْ
وَنَداكَ شُؤْبُوبٌ إلى شُؤْبُوبِ
Their palms' applause has no resonance
While yours is a stream flowing to stream
يَا مَنْ بِفَارُوقَ ائْتَسَوْا فَتَنَافَسُوا
فِي البِرِّ بَيْنَ نَجِيبَةٍ وَنَجِيبِ
You who emulate Farouk, vying in virtue
Between the noble daughter and noble son
مِنْ كُلِّ مِسْمَاحٍ أَصِيلٍ رَأْيُهُ
لَبِقٍ بِتَصْرِيفِ الزَّكَاةِ أَرِيبِ
Sound of judgment, properly dispensing charity
Chaste, dignified, faultless in her travels
وَمَصُونَةٍ بِحَيائِهَا وَإِبَائِهَا
سَفَرَتْ بِلاَ لَوْمٍ وَلاَ تَثْرِيبِ
She gives orphans her handiwork forgiving
The spinning, the pleasures of being young
تُعْطِي اليَتَامَى وَالأَيَامَى غَزْلَهَا
وَتَعِفُّ عَنْ غَزَلٍ وعن تَشْبِيبِ
My lords, her scent is so sublime
Her fragrance so graceful and sweet
يَا سَادَتِي إِنِّي لأَشْهَدُ لَمْحَةً
عُلْوِيَّة وَأَشَمُّ نَفْحَةَ طِيبِ
Serve your failing people, so distraught
Crying for help, their ruin profound
أَعْظِمْ بِخِدْمَتِكُمْ لِشَعْبٍ عَاثِرٍ
مُسْتَصْرِخٍ لِسَوَادِهِ المَنْكُوبِ
Beware schisms fragment unity
When good lies in bridging close the gap
خَطَرُ الجَمَاعَةِ أَنْ يُبَاعَدَ بَيْنَهَا
وَالْخَيْرُ كُلُّ الْخَيْرِ في التَّقْرِيبِ
Repel the harm of discord and you'll win
The rewards of the noble peacemaker
إِنْ تَدْفَعُوا شَرَّ الخَصَاصَةِ فُزْتُمُ
في عَاجِلٍ بِثَوَابِ خَيْرِ مُثِيبِ
Saving this honest land and its people
From the blows of a threatening fate
وَوَقَيْتُمُ البَلَدَ الأَمِينَ وَأَهْلَهُ
غَدَرَاتِ دَهْرٍ مُنْذِرٍ بِخُطُوبِ
Aid the poor and make right their affairs
Tomorrow, grim, will be taxing indeed
وَاسُوا الفَقِيرَ وَأَصْلِحُوا مِنْ شَأْنِهِ
أَوْلاَ فَإِنَّ غَداً لَجِدُّ مُرِيبِ
Redeem the children, in body and manners
With learning, with teaching what's meet
وَتَدَارَكُوا الأَطُفَالَ بِالسَّبَبَيْنِ من
تَصْحِيحِ أبْدَانٍ وَمِنْ تَهْذِيبِ
Thus Egypt will thrive, living secure
From hardship, in peace and tranquility
فَبِذَاكَ تَبْلُغُ مِصْرُ مَا يُبْغَى لَهَا
فِي العَيْشِ مِنْ سَعَةٍ وَأَمْنِ كُرُوبِ
General welfare outpaces all steps
On lush grounds for workers made green
وَرَفَاهَةُ الطَّبقَات تَسْتَبِقُ الخُطَى
فِي مَرْتَعٍ لِلْعَامِلِينَ خَصيَبِ
O Lord, protect Farouk, and answer his prayers
Egypt calls You, for You answer hopes best
يَا رَبِّ صُنْ فاروقَ وَاكلأْ بَيْنَهُ
تَدْعُوكَ مِصْرُ وأَنتَ خَيْرُ مُجِيبِ
