خَفَقَتْ لِطَلْعَةِ وَجْهِكَ الأَعْلامُ

وَمَشَتْ تُحِيطُ بِرَكْبِكَ الأَعْلامُ

The flags fluttered for the rise of your face,

And marched surrounding your caravan.

مِنْ مَرْفَأِ الثَّغْرِ الأَغَرِّ إِلَى حِمَى

مِصْرَ الأبَرِّ تَحِيَّةٌ وَسَلامُ

From the harbor of the most verdant border to the protection

Of mighty Egypt, greetings and peace.

يَطْوِي القِطَارُ مَرَاحِلاً لا تَنْتَهِي

وَالْجَانِبَانِ طُلىً تَمُوجُ وَهَامُ

The train covers endless distances,

With overflowing waves on both sides.

للهِ فِيكَ وَلِلبِلادِ ولِلعُلَى

هَذَا الْوَلاءُ وَذَلِكَ الإكْرَامُ

For God through you, for the country and the sublime,

This loyalty and that honor.

حَالٌ تَزِيدُكَ رِقَّةً وَوَدَاعَةً

إنَّ العِظَامَ لَبَالنُّفُوسِ عِظَامُ

A state that increases your softness and farewell,

The bones are indeed the souls of the noble.

سعْدَ السُّعُودِ اطْلُعْ بِمِصْرَ وَلا يَبِنْ

عَنْ مِصْرَ بَعْدَ ضِيَاؤُكَ البَسَّامُ

O Saad Al Saud, emerge in Egypt and do not build

Away from Egypt after your radiant light.

أَرْوِ العُيُونَ بِمَا تُفِيضُ مِنَ السَّنَى

فَلَقَدْ حُجِبْتَ وَبِالعُيُونِ أُوَامُ

Quench the eyes with what overflows from joy,

For you were veiled while the eyes had sorrows.

عَامَانِ مَرَّا فِي الغِيَابِ وَعِنْدَ مَنْ

يَشْتَاقُ أَقْصَرُ سَاعَةٍ أَعْوَامُ

Two years have passed in absence, and for those

Who long, an hour is longer than years.

أَليَوْمَ لا إِغْرَاقَ فِي قَوْلِ امْرِيءٍ

هُزَّ المُقَطَّمُ وَانْتَشَى الأَهْرَامُ

Is this not the day for drowning in the word of a speaker

Whose utterances shook and awakened the pyramids?

وَجَرَى بِوَادِي النِّيلِ ذَوْبُ عَقِيقِهِ

يُروِي الخَمَائِلَ وَالشَّرَابُ مُدَامُ

The melting of its carnelian ran in the Nile valley

Quenching the swooning and the wine continues to pour.

هَذَا جَزَاءُ الْمُخْلِصِينَ وَهَكَذَا

تُثْنِي عَلَى أَبْطَالِهَا الأَقْوَامُ

This is the reward of the loyalists, and thus

The nations praise their heroes.

مَا الظَّنُّ بِالشُّكْرِ الَّذِي يُولِيكُهُ

أَبْنَاءُ مِصْرَ وَأَنَّهُمْ لَكِرَامُ

What of gratitude you command

From Egypt's sons, and they are generous?

مُنِجِي البِلادَ وَمُسْتَعِيدُ حُقُوقِهَا

مَاذَا يَفِي مِنْ حَقِّهِ الإِعْظَامُ

Saviour of the country and restorer of its rights

What fulfills its right to magnify you?

حَسْبَ المَفَاخِرِ أَنْ غَدَوْتَ مَلاذَهَا

وَمَعَاذَهَا المَأْمُولَ حِينَ تُضُامُ

It suffices for pride that you have become its refuge

And its hoped-for protector when distressed.

للهِ مَا أَمْضَاكَ فِي الشَّأْنِ الَّذِي

نَدَبَتْكَ مِصْرُ لَهُ وَأَنْتَ هُمَامُ

My God, how firm you were in the matter

To which Egypt summoned you while you are resolute.

أَحْسَنْتَ مَا تَهْوَى وَأَحْسَنَ رُفْقَةٌ

مَا مِنْهُمُو إِلاَّ فَتىً مِقْدَامُ

You have done what you love, and a company has done good

Among them only a bold youth.

أَعْمَلْتُمُ العَزْمَ الصَّحِيحَ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ

لِيَرُوعَكُمْ فِي غِيلِهِ الضِّرْغَامُ

You made the right decision so the darkness

Would not terrify you in its turmoil.

وَالرَّأْيَ قَدْ أَثْبَتُّمُوهُ بَالِغٌ

فِي النًّجْحِ مَا لا يَبْلُغُ الصَّمْصَامُ

You have proven an opinion leading

To success beyond what the deaf can attain.

فبِنبْلِ هَذَا الرَّأْيِ وَهْوَ مُوَفَّق

وَبِفَضْلِ ذَاكَ العَزْمِ وَهْوَ جُسَامُ

By the nobility of this well-guided opinion

And the favor of that mighty determination,

سَتَعُودُ مِصْرُ إِلَى سَنِيِّ مَقَامِهَا

وَلَهَا السُّهَى أَوْ فَوقَ ذَاكَ مُقَامُ

Egypt will return to the position of its forefathers,

And glory to it, or above that, a position.
