فما أنت إلا الشمس لولاك لم تزل

على مصر ظلماء الضلالة سرمدا

You are nothing less than the sun, without you

The darkness of misguidance would have remained forever upon Egypt

وكان بها طغيان فرعون لم يزل

كما كان لما أن طغا وتمردا

And the tyranny of the Pharaoh would have remained

As it was when he rebelled and transgressed

فبصرتهم بعد الغواية والعمى

وأرشدتهم تحت الضلال إلى الهدى

So you made them see after delusion and blindness

And guided them under misguidance to the right path
