تولَّتْ دولَةُ الحْمقَى

ألا سُحقًا لها سُحْقا!

The reign of folly has come

Curse it, curse it intensely!

ألا حُلُّوا عن الوادي

قتلتم أهلَه خَنْقًا

Why don't you leave the valley alone

You have choked its people to death

لقد دنَّسْتُمُو مصرًا

بحكمكُمو بل الشَّرْقا

You have defiled Egypt

With your rule, nay with evil

وما خلفتمو بين الزُّ

نُوج وبيننا فرقا

You have left no difference between us

And the beasts

فكم بالطُّور من شاكٍ

إلى الرحمن ما يَلقى

How many complain bitterly to God

About what they suffer!

وكم بالسجن مظلومٌ

له سَجَّانُه رَقَّا

How many oppressed are in prison

With chains as their keeper

عصَفْتم بالحمى عصفًا

فرفقًا بالحمى رفقًا

You have raged violently against the protective

Be gentle, be gentle with the protective

فلو سابقتمو نِيرو

نَ نلتُمْ دونه السبقا

Had you raced with Nile

You would have won the race

كذبتم إِذْ توهَّمْتم

مظالمَ عهدكم تَبْقَى

You lied when you thought

Your injustices would last

فمصرُ كنَانةُ الرحمـ

ـنِ؛ لا تشْقَى، ولن تشقى!

Egypt is the canal of God's mercy

It will not suffer, and will not suffer!
