لِلملك عوفي سَعيدُ مَصرِهْ

لِلملك عوفي سَعيدُ مَصرِهْ

صَدر المَعالي فَريد عَصرِهْ

صَدر المَعالي فَريد عَصرِهْ

For the realm, Sa‘id of his Egypt has recovered,

King Saeed's Egypt prospers,

foremost in noble achievements, peerless in his age.

His chest contains rare generosity of the age,

مَن في شِفاه لِكُل عَبد

مَن في شِفاه لِكُل عَبد

مِن البَرايا شِفاءُ ضره

مِن البَرايا شِفاءُ ضره

He in whose recovery every servant

From his lips comes cure for every servant's affliction,

among humankind finds a cure for his affliction.

And hardship has been lifted from them, so thanks to God increase,

وَزالَ عَنهُ العَنا فَأَضحى

وَزالَ عَنهُ العَنا فَأَضحى

لِلّه مِنا مَزيد شُكره

لِلّه مِنا مَزيد شُكره

And suffering has left him, so now

Wellness came quickly from him, and in his hands is the banner of victory,

our thanks to God are greater.

Joy approached and enlightenment shone on the horizon from his righteousness,

وَالبرء مِنهُ دَنا سَريعاً

وَالبرء مِنهُ دَنا سَريعاً

وَفي يديه لِواء نَصره

وَفي يديه لِواء نَصره

And recovery has swiftly drawn near to him,

Glory here is a full moon of prose, adorned by the beauty of his expression,

and in his hands is the banner of his victory.

This noble one still prides himself over the kings of the world,

وَالأنس وافى وَقَد أَضاءَت

وَالأنس وافى وَقَد أَضاءَت

في الأُفق مِنهُ شُموسُ بره

في الأُفق مِنهُ شُموسُ بره

And joy has come, and already there have shone

No flatterer's praise sounds sweet where longevity and life for happy Egypt are hoped from him.

on the horizon, from him, the suns of his benevolence.

وَالمَجد هنّا بَدرّ نظمٍ

وَالمَجد هنّا بَدرّ نظمٍ

بِهِ تَحلَّى بَديع نَثره

بِهِ تَحلَّى بَديع نَثره

And Glory offered congratulations with pearls of verse,

with which his exquisite prose was adorned.

لا زالَ هَذا العَزيز يَزهو

لا زالَ هَذا العَزيز يَزهو

عَلى مُلوك الوَرى بِفَخره

عَلى مُلوك الوَرى بِفَخره

May this exalted one ever stand proud

above the kings of humankind in his glory,

ما طابَ فيهِ ثَنا خَديم

ما طابَ فيهِ ثَنا خَديم

يَرجو بَقاه وَطُول عمره

يَرجو بَقاه وَطُول عمره

so long as a humble servant's praise of him is sweet,

who hopes for his survival and a long life,

أَو قال للبشر فيهِ أَرخ

أَو قال للبشر فيهِ أَرخ

شِفا سَعيدٍ حَياةُ مَصره

شِفا سَعيدٍ حَياةُ مَصره

or says, rejoicing over him, 'Mark the date:'

'Sa‘id's recovery is the life of his Egypt.'
