1. علياك لِليمن دامَت يا خَديوينا

    وَمَنبَع الخَير مِن جَدواك يُولينا

    May your eminence endure in good fortune, O our Khedive.

    And the wellspring of goodness bestows upon us from your bounty.

  2. وَفي يَمينك يَمن في الوُجود سري

    وَفي يَسارك يَسر الخَير يَهدينا

    And in your right hand is good fortune that has flowed through creation,

    And in your left hand is ease; goodness guides us.

  3. وَأَينما سرت صار العَدل ممتثلاً

    يَحدى الرِكاب وَللانصاف يَثنينا

    And wherever you went, justice stood obedient,

    Urging the riding camels onward and turning us toward fairness.

  4. فَكُلنا في سُرور أَنتَ مَوجده

    إذ لا تَرى مِنكَ إِلا ما يَرقينا

    So we all share a joy of which you are the source,

    For one sees nothing from you but what uplifts us.

  5. جَددت لِلفَضل أَياماً نؤملها

    وَلاحَ عزك وَالعَليا بِوادينا

    You have renewed the days of bounty that we long for,

    And your glory and grandeur have shone in our valley.

  6. وَكَم بَدَت نَعم عَمَت فَضائلها

    في الكَون وَلا زالَت تُصافينا

    And how many blessings have appeared, their benefits spreading

    Throughout creation, never ceasing to show us friendship.

  7. وَبحر جُودك في الدُنيا لَهُ منن

    في كُل وَقت تَروينا وَتَروينا

    And the sea of your generosity has favors in this world,

    At every moment, they give us drink and quench our thirst.

  8. وَكَم بِكَ الدَولة العَليا رَقت شَرَفا

    وَكَم بِتَشريفك إِلا عَلى تَهانينا

    And how often, through you, the exalted state has risen in honor,

    And how often, through your honoring—only upon our congratulations [wording unclear].

  9. وَكَم مَآثر لا نحصى لَها عَدداً

    بِالعز وَالمَجد وَالعَليا تَوافينا

    And how many noble deeds, whose number we cannot count,

    Come to us with might, glory, and grandeur.

  10. وَكُل أَيامَك الغَرا مَواسمنا

    وَنُور طَلعتكم أَبهى أَمانينا

    And all your radiant days are our festivals,

    And the light of your countenance is the brightest of our hopes.

  11. وَكَم إِلَيكَ بِعز في حماك دَعَت

    كُل الأَنام وَقال السَعد آمينا

    And how often, with honor under your protection, has called to you

    All humankind, while good fortune said, 'Amen.'

  12. لا زِلت خَير مَليك عز دَولته

    عَلى الدَوام يَحيينا وَيحيينا

    May you remain the finest sovereign, whose state's glory

    Forever greets us and gives us life.

  13. وَبَهجة المَلك قَد قالَت مُؤرخة

    بِصَفو فَضل أَدام اللَه وَالينا

    And the splendor of kingship has spoken, marking the date:

    'With pure grace, may God preserve our governor.'
