أَيُّهَا النَّاصِرُونَ لِلعِلْمِ أَحْسَنْ

تُمْ لَعَمْرِي نِهَايَةَ الإِحْسَانِ

O supporters of knowledge, you have done well,

By my life, the epitome of kindness,

فَضْلُكُمْ أَصْبَحَ المِثَالَ المُعَلَّى

أَيُّ فَضْلٍ كَنُصْرَةِ الْعِرْفَانِ

Your merit has become the highest ideal.

What merit is there like supporting enlightenment?

وَطَنٌ يَبْذُلُ الأَمَاجِيدُ فِيهِ

بَذْلَكُمْ لا يَهُونُ فِي الأَوْطَانِ

A homeland where the generous give,

Your giving there is no less than other homelands,

مِصْرُ تِيهِي بِنَابِهِينَ كِرَا

هُمْ فَخَارُ الأَمْصَارِ فِي كُلِّ آنِ

Egypt boasts with its Nubar and Qasim Amin,

They are the pride of cities in every era,

فِي المُنُوفِيَّةِ الضَّحُوكِ وُجُوهٌ

أَصْبَحُوا بِالنَّدَى وُجُوهَ الزَّمَانِ

In Monufia there are cheerful faces

Who have become, with the dew, the faces of the age,

مَغْرِسٌ أَطْلَعَ النُّبُوغَ وَأَجْنَى الـ

ـرُّوحَ وَالجِسْمَ طَيِّبَاتِ المَجَانِي

A planted tree that yielded brilliance and harvested

Spirit and body, the good things of life,

هَكَذَا المَكْرُمَاتُ إِنْ وُجِدَتْ فِي

بَلَدٍ فَهْوَ أَعْمَرُ الْبُلْدَانِ

Thus, when virtues are found in a country,

It is the most enduring of homelands,

بَارَكَ اللهُ فِيكُمو وَعَلَيْكُمُ

بِدُعَاءِ الجَنَانِ قَبْلَ اللِّسَانِ

May God bless you and bestow upon you,

With the prayer of heavens before that of tongues.
