يَا مُعِزَّ الحِمَى وَمُعْتِقَهُ بِالْـ

ـخِطَّة القَصْدِ مِنْ هَوَانٍ وَرِقِّ

O protector of the revered and liberator with

The path of moderation, far from dishonor and vileness

أَلْغَنِيُّ يَعْصِمُ الشُّعوبَ

وَيَعْلِيهَا وَحِرْمَانُهَا يَذِلُّ وَيُشْقِي

The generous protect the people

And elevate them while their deprivation humiliates and makes them wretched

رُمْتَ أَسْمَى الغَايَاتِ تُوفِي عَلَيْهَا

بَالْحِسَابِ الأَجَلِّ أَوْ بِالأَرَقِّ

You have attained the highest goals and fulfilled them

With timeliness or vigilance

فَإِذَا مِصْرُ فِي الصِّناعَاتِ

وَالتَّصْريفِ لِلْمَالِ حَلْبَةٌ ذَاتَ سَبْقِ

When Egypt excels in industries

And commerce, it is an arena of precedence

إِنْ يُكَافِئْكَ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ فَعَدْلٌ

أَنْ يَكُونَ الثَّوَابُ وَفَقاً لِوَفِقِ

If Egypt’s king rewards you equivalently, it is justice

That the reward matches the deed

قَبْلَ هَذَا اليَوْمِ الَّذِي طَرِبَتْ مِصْرُ

لَهُ مَا شَهِدَتْ إِجْمَاعَ صُدْقِ

Before this day when Egypt was elated

For what it witnessed of unanimous truth

هَذِهِ رِتْبَةٌ يَهْنَأُ مُهْدِيهَا

وَمَنْ أَهْدِيَتْ إِلَيْهِ بِحَقِّ

This is a rank whose guide prospers

And whoever it is gifted to by right
