1. ذَا النّيلُ مَا يَبْرَحُ في سَعْده

    وَحَالَهُ الْمَاشيَ مَا خَالا

    This Nile remains ever in good fortune;

    And its present state was never imagined.

  2. يَجرِي لَنَا مَاضٍ وَمُسْتَقْبلاً

    لاَ أوْقَفَ اللهُ لَهُ حَالاَ

    It flows for us, past and future;

    May God never bring its course to a halt.
