    أهدي إليك تحياتي وأشعاري

    With the gentle, tranquil breeze drifting through the night,

    I send you my greetings and my poems,

  2. مقدرا لك ما أنجزت من عمل

    نرنو إليه بإجلال وإكبار

    In appreciation of the work you have accomplished,

    Which we behold with reverence and esteem.

  3. يا قائد العرب في أقسى معاركه

    أنت الزعيم وأنت الضيغم الضاري

    O leader of the Arabs in their fiercest battles,

    You are the leader, and you are the ferocious lion.

  4. فلو تجسمت الأمجاد في رجل

    لكنت أنت بلاشك وإنكار

    It would be you, beyond doubt or denial.

  5. أنت الهمام الذي لولاك ما نهضت

    عروبتي ومضت في عنف إعصار

    You are the valiant one; without you, it would not have risen—

    My Arab spirit—nor surged with a hurricane's fury,

  6. تشق درب المعالي غير عابئة

    بما على الدرب من شوك وأحجار

    Cleaving a path to the heights, heedless

    Of the thorns and stones along the way.

    متوجاً بأكاليل من الغار

    And speech gained weight and consequence.

  11. فهدد الغرب بالحرب الضروس فلم

    تأبه به لا ولم تجبن لإنذار

    Then the West threatened ferocious war, but you did not

    Heed it—no—nor did you cower at a warning.

  12. صمدت في وجه من جاءوا لينتقمو

    فرد كيد البغاة الخالق الباري

    حتى تحرر من نير ومن نار

    لينقذ الشعب من ظلم وأضرار

    By one who disregards the rights of God and neighbor.

  17. ساندت شعبا بجيش لو صدمت به

    شم الحبال لغارت أي إغوار

    You supported a people with an army; had you hurled it against

  18. حققت جل أمانينا غايتن

    في وحدة جمعتنا ضد كفار

    You fulfilled most of our hopes, our goal,

    In a union that joined us against unbelievers,

  19. وضد من جزأوا ظلما لنا وطن

    موحدا في دويلات وأقطار

    And against those who unjustly divided our homeland,

    Once united, into petty states and regions.

  20. أفروا فلسطين من أرضي ومن وطني

    وقدموها لأفاكين أشرار

    They tore Palestine from my land and my homeland,

    And handed it over to wicked liars.

  21. وشردوا شعبها في كل مهمهة

    بين الجريح وبين الجائع العاري

    And scattered its people across every wilderness,

    Some wounded, others hungry and naked.

    From the oppression and dangers it faces.

  26. فاستعجل الأمر أنقذ من أريد به

    شرا فقد وقعت في كف جبار

    So hasten the matter; save the one for whom

    Harm was intended, for it has fallen into a tyrant's grasp.

  27. واسلم ودم للعلا والمجد ما صدحت

    بلابل بنشيد فوق أزهار

    May you be safe and endure for greatness and glory as long as

    Bulbuls sing their song above the flowers.

  28. منذ الخلاقة لم تنجب عروبتن

    كناصر مثلا أعلى لأحرار

    Since creation [apparently intended], our Arab nation has never brought forth

    A supreme exemplar like Nasser for the free.
