1. O my heart, rest after long suffering,

    from the discord among the men of our age.

  2. For they have chosen peace after conten—

    —tion among them, estrangement, and rancor.

  3. They have returned to unity, hoping it will be

    a cure for their afflictions and ordeals.

  4. And what reconciled them all was

    the martyrs’ blood—the youth of the nation.

  5. He who suffered for her rendered Egypt her due,

    and, as her trustee, discharged her trust.

  6. Every man loyal to her came forward,

    pure of heart and generous in public conduct.

  7. Once the burden on my conscience grows light,

    the burden on my body, too, grows light.

  8. Experience is surely enough, O people of Egypt,

    as your guarantee after all those upheavals.

  9. The time has come for you to repel an aggressor

    who humiliated your dignity and held you in contempt.

  10. Though you have lived amid what he has plundered,

    there is no grieving over one already dead.

  11. But if you all advance as one,

    then every path is noble and fair.

  12. The freedom of the realm is riches entire

    for whoever seeks gain or recompense.
