حَيُّوا الرَّئِيسَةَ إنْصَافاً وَتَكْرِمَةً

يَا حَامِلِينَ لِوَاءَ العِلْمِ وَالأَدَبِ

Greet the president with fairness and honor

O you who carry the banner of knowledge and literature

مِنْ نُخْبَةٍ هُمْ فَخَارُ الغَرْب إِنْ نُعِتُوا

وَنُخْبَةٍ هُمْ فَخَارُ الشَّرْقِ وَالعَرَبَ

Among an elite who are the pride of the West when named

And an elite who are the pride of the East and Arabs

حَيُّوا فَتَاةً أَتّمَّ اللهُ زَينَتَهَا

خَلْقاً وَخُلْقاً بِمَا يَسْمُو عَنِ الرِّيَبِ

Greet a young woman whom God has perfected her adornment

In nature and morals with what rises above doubt

تَمُرُّ بِاللَّهْوِ لاَ تُغْرَى بِزُخْرُفِهِ

وَتُنْفِقُ العُمْرُ بَيْنَ الصُّحْفِ وَالكُتُبِ

She passes by vanity not tempted by its ornamentation

And spends her time between books and manuscripts

حَتَّى غَدَتْ قُدْوَةً فِي العَصْرِ صَالِحَةٍ

لِلْغَانِيَاتِ ذَوَاتِ الجِدِّ وَالدَّأَبِ

Until she became an exemplar in the era of righteousness

For the young women of dedication and diligence

بَدَتْ مِنَ الخِدْرِ وَالعَلْيَاءُ عَاصِمَةٌ

فَإِنْ يَعِبْ نَجْماً الإِشْرَاقُ فَلْتُعَبِ

She appeared protected from corruption and aloofness

So if the dawn misses a star, let it miss!

بَيْنَ الصَّوَاحِبِ لاَحَتْ فِي نِظَامِ هُدًى

فَأَشْهَدَتْنَا نِظَامَ الشَّمسِ عَنْ كَثَبِ

Among friends she shone with a system of guidance

Thus she showed us the system of the steadfast sun

وَمَا هُدى حِينَ تَجْلُو عَنْ أَشِعَّتِهَا

إِلاَّ مُحَيَّا ذُكَاءٍ غَيْرَ مُنْتَقَبِ

And what guidance is there when it unveils from its rays

Except praise for untainted intelligence?

لَهَا رِسَالَتُهَا العُلْيَا تُنِيرُ بِهَا

سُبْلَ الحَيَاةِ وَكَيْفَ النُّورُ فِي الحُجُبِ

She has her supreme message with which she enlightens

The paths of life and how the light penetrates barriers

حِيَالَهَا مِنْ حَوَارِيَّاتَهَا شُهُبٌ

أَنْقَى وَأطْهَرُ مِنْ دُرِّيَّة الشُّهبِ

Facing her, from her disciples, are comets

Purer and more immaculate than pearls

يَمْضِينَ فِي طَلَبِ الغَايَاتِ قَاصِيَةً

فَمَا يَنِيْنَ وَمَا يَشْكُونَ مِنْ نَصَبِ

They go seeking goals resolutely

Without complaining or moaning from effort

هُمُ الطَّليعَةُ تَغْزُو غَيْرَ آثِمَةٍ

كَتَائِبَ الجَهْلِ فِي حَرْبٍ بِلاَ حَرَبِ

They are the vanguard invading without sin

The regiments of ignorance in a war without war

مَنْ يَنْسى إِنْ ذُكِرَتْ مِصْرٌ وَنَهْضَتُهَا

عَوْنَ النَّجيبَاتِ لِلصُّبابَةِ النُّجبِ

Who can forget, if Egypt and its renaissance are mentioned

The aid of the honorable young women to the esteemed youth

تِلْكَ المُشَارَكَةُ الحُسْنَى يُنَاطُ بِهَا

رَجَاؤُنَا فِي مَعَالِينَافَلاَ يَخِبِ

That excellent participation, our hopes are entrusted with it

In our aspirations, may it not disappoint!
