1. سَحائب إِحسان السَعيد محمدِ

    سَمير العُلا فاضَت عَلى كُل مجتدي

    The clouds of benevolence of the fortunate Muhammad,

    glory’s companion by night, have poured upon every seeker of bounty.

  2. وَغَيث أَياديه الجَزيلة لَم يَزَل

    يَعم جَميع الناس في أَي مَورد

    And the life-giving rain of his lavish favors has never ceased

    to reach all people at every watering place.

  3. فَأَيامه في جبهة الدَهر غُرة

    وَأَحكامه بِالعَدل تَزهو كفرقد

    So his days are a white blaze upon time’s forehead,

    and his judgments shine with justice like Farqad.

  4. وَلا رَيب أَن اللَه أَسعَد مصره

    بِهِ بَعد مَولاها العَزيز محمد

    And there is no doubt that God has made his Egypt happy

    through him, after its mighty lord Muhammad.

  5. وَكَيفَ وَقَد أَحيا بِها فَضل والد

    حَباها بعزٍّ سرمدي وَسؤدد

    And how could there be doubt, when he has revived there the beneficence of a father

    who endowed it with everlasting might and eminence,

  6. وَخلَّد فيها ذكره باهتمامه

    وَحصَّنها بالحزم مِن كُل معتدي

    and perpetuated his memory there through his care,

    and fortified it with resolve against every aggressor,

  7. وَأَسس فيها كُل حصن وَقَلعة

    بِرأي لَهُ في كل أَمر مسدد

    and founded there every fort and citadel,

    by his judgment, sound in every matter.

  8. وَقابل بِالمَعروف وَالبر وَالرضا

    عَبيداً لَهُ تَرجو دَوام التخلد

    And he received with kindness, beneficence, and favor

    servants of his who hope for enduring immortality,

  9. وَتَمرح في رَوض المَسرة وَالهَنا

    وَتطرب مِن ذكراه في كُل مقعد

    and revel in the garden of joy and bliss,

    and rejoice at his remembrance wherever they sit.

  10. وَتُثني عَلَيهِ مِنهُمُ الآن ألسنٌ

    بِما قَدّمت يمناه في الأَمس وَالغَد

    And now tongues among them praise him

    for what his right hand has bestowed, yesterday and tomorrow.

  11. وَتَتلو عَلَيهِ آيةَ الشُكر دائِماً

    بِأَكمل تَرتيل وَحُسن تردّد

    And they continually recite to him the verse of gratitude

    with the most perfect measured recitation and beautiful repetition.

  12. وَما جنة الدُنيا سِوى مَصرنا الَّتي

    سَمَت وَتَباهَت بِالعَزيز المؤيد

    And the paradise of this world is none but our Egypt, which

    has risen high and gloried in the mighty, strengthened ruler.

  13. فَلا زالَ يَرعاها وَيغمر أَهلَها

    مَدى الدَهر بِالإنعام في كُل مَولد

    So may he ever care for it and shower its people

    for all time, with bounty at every birthday celebration.

  14. وَلا زال يَحميها بِسَطوة هاصرٍ

    يَفرُّ لَديه كُل باغ وَمُفسد

    And may he ever protect it with the might of a crushing lion,

    before whom every rebel and corrupter flees.

  15. وَلا اِنفك تاج النَصر مِن فَوق هامه

    يَروح بِهِ بَينَ الجُنود وَيَغتَدي

    And may the crown of victory never part from his head,

    as he goes forth with it among the troops, in the evening and the morning.
