1. A greeting from a proud soul I offer

    To you, the dearest visitor I greet.

  2. Inspect the province’s villages and witness its loyalty,

    As you hope for it and expect it there.

  3. And any place you have visited is surely a paradise

    Through what you accomplish and what you bring about.

  4. And no hour you spent among my kin

    Is anything but an eternity you fill with bliss and bestow.

  5. So tell the king’s minister that we invite him

    To all that pleases the country and pleases him.

  6. And that, through what he has shown and bestowed, we are honored,

    And that the final reward is his for what he plans by night.

  7. And that he has the faith of every sincere soul,

    And a pledge each honors and a due each pays in full.

  8. And that we are guardians of the throne, and the throne is eternal;

    We revere it as we revere Egypt, and sacrifice ourselves for it.

Sol 6.1
