يَدُوم بِمَصر مَولدك السَعيدُ

يَدُوم بِمَصر مَولدك السَعيدُ

فَأَنتَ عَزيزُها الملك السَعيدُ

فَأَنتَ عَزيزُها الملك السَعيدُ

May your happy birthday endure in Egypt.

May your auspicious birth in Egypt endure,

For you are her mighty ruler, the fortunate king.

For you are its cherished king, auspicious and mighty,

وَتَحيا ما تَشاء بِها مهيباً

وَتَحيا ما تَشاء بِها مهيباً

يَذل لعز دَولَتك العَبيد

يَذل لعز دَولَتك العَبيد

And may you live there as long as you wish, held in awe.

And you may live in it as long as you wish, revered,

The slaves submit to the might of your rule.

While your state's glory humbles the slaves.

وَتشهر كُل عام لِلمَعالي

وَتشهر كُل عام لِلمَعالي

مَواسم عَودُها لِلملك عيد

مَواسم عَودُها لِلملك عيد

And each year you proclaim, in honor of greatness,

And every year you inaugurate for the glorious one

Festivals whose return is a feast day for the realm.

Seasons whose return is a festivity for the king,

وَتَنشُر دائِماً أَعلام نَصر

وَتَنشُر دائِماً أَعلام نَصر

عَلى رَأس الجُنود كَما تُريد

عَلى رَأس الجُنود كَما تُريد

And you always unfurl banners of victory

And you constantly spread the flags of victory

At the head of the troops, as you wish.

Over the heads of soldiers as you desire.

وَيَنتَجع الوَليمة في التَهاني

وَيَنتَجع الوَليمة في التَهاني

بِقَلعتك المُقرب وَالبَعيد

بِقَلعتك المُقرب وَالبَعيد

And the banquet is sought amid congratulations

And relief is gained through congratulations in your castle,

At your citadel, by the favored and the distant.

Those near and far all delighted,

فَيَحظى مِنكَ بِالتَشريف فيها

فَيَحظى مِنكَ بِالتَشريف فيها

مِن الناس الموالي وَالعَبيد

مِن الناس الموالي وَالعَبيد

So there, they receive honor from you—

And honored by you within it

The masters and slaves among the people.

Are the loyal and the slaves.

وَفي الإِقبال أَرخ عزَّ جاهاً

وَفي الإِقبال أَرخ عزَّ جاهاً

خِديوي مَصر مَولده سَعيد

خِديوي مَصر مَولده سَعيد

And amid prosperity, record the date: 'Exalted in rank

In arriving prosperously, prosperously arrive

Is Egypt's Khedive; happy is his birthday.'

Khedive of Egypt, may your birth be auspicious.
