يَا مَلِيكَ القُلُوبِ يَحْفَظُكَ اللهُ

وَيَرْعَاكَ يَا مَلِيكَ القُلُوبِ

O king of hearts, may God protect you

And care for you, O king of hearts

لَيْسَ فِي الشَّرْقِ غَيْرُ هَذَا دُعَاءً

لِلْمَلِيكِ المُعَظَّمِ المَحْبُوبِ

In the East there is no other prayer

For the revered beloved king

عِيْدُ فريالُ فَوْقَ مَا يَبْلُغُ الإِبْدَاعُ

فِي وَصْفِ شَاعِرٍ أَوْ خَطِيبِ

Farial's celebration transcends all eloquence

In describing a poet or orator

أَيُّ بِدْعٍ إِذَا تَلَقَّتْهُ مِصْرٌ

وَبَنُوهَا بِالبِشْرِ وَالتَّرْحِيبِ

What blessing when Egypt receives it

And her children with joy and welcome

هُوَ عِيدُ الإِحْسَانِ فِي كُلِّ مَعْنَىً

وسُرورُ المَحْرُومِ وَالمَحْرُوبِ

It is the feast of benevolence in every sense

And the joy of the deprived and troubled

فَتْحُ هَذَا الجَنَاحِ للشَّعْبِ فِيهِ

أَيُّ فَتْحٍ وَأَيُّ نَصْرٍ قَرِيبِ

The opening of this wing for the people in it

What conquest and what near victory

يُوسُفُ الخَيْرِ شَادَهُ باسْمِ سَمْعَانَ

أَبيهِ واللهُ خَيْرُ مُثِيبِ

Youssef of goodness founded it in Semaan's name

His father's, and God is best rewarder

خَفَقَتْ رَايَةُ الهِلاَلِ عَلَيْهِ

رَايَةُ الصِّدْقِ في كِفَاحِ الخُطُوبِ

The crescent banner fluttered over it

The banner of truth in the struggle of adversities

لَيْسَ في ظِلِّهَا اختِلافٌ وَكُلٌّ

آخِذٌ مِنْ حَنَانِهَا بِنَصِيبِ

In its shade there is no disagreement and each

Takes of its affection a share

وُحِّدَتْ في اَحْمِرَارِهَا صِبْغَةُ البِرِّ

فَلَوْنُ الْهِلاَلِ لُوْنُ الصَّلِيبِ

In its redness the dye of righteousness was united

For the crescent's color is the cross's color

لِتَعِشْ مِصْرُ ولْيَعِشْ شَعْبُ مِصْرٍ

إِنَّهُ خَيْرُ قُدْوةٍ للشُّعُوبِ

May Egypt live and may the people of Egypt live

It is the best role model for nations
