يَا وَزِيرَ الشَّبَابِ أَنْتَ خَلِيقٌ

بِثَنَاءِ الشِّيُوخِ قَبْلَ الشَّبَابِ

O minister of youth, you are worthy

Of the elders' praise before the youth

رِيفُ مِصْرَ الخَصِيبِ أَحْدَثْتَ فِيهِ

مَأْثَرَاتٍ يَجْدُرْنَ بِالإِعْجَابِ

Egypt's fertile countryside, you have made in it

Achievements that are admirable

جَنَّةٌ أُصْلِحَتْ فآتَتْ جَنَاهَا

وَزَكَا رِيْعُهَا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابِ

A garden that was fixed and bore its fruits

And its harvest increased without account

سَاسَهَا مُقَدَّمٌ قَدِيرٌ خَبِيرٌ

دَائِبُ السَّعْي طَاهِرُ الآرَابِ

Its leader is an able, expert pioneer

Diligent, of pure morals

َأبْرَزَ الْحَزْمَ مِنْهُ ضَوْءُ سِرَاجٍ

وَجَلاَ الْعَزْمَ مِنْهُ ضَوْءُ الثَّوَابِ

Prudence shone from him, the light of a lamp

And resolve shone from him, the light of reward

دَامَ يَبْنِي لِجَاهِهَا وَعُلاهَا

مَفْخَرَاتٍ تَبْقَى عَلَى الأَحْقَابِ

May he continue to build for its glory and height

Prides that remain for eras
