إِلَىَ أَرْضِ الْكِنَانَةِ قَدْ أَتَيْتُ

إِلَىَ أَرْضِ الْكِنَانَةِ قَدْ أَتَيْتُ

وَمِثْلَكِ يَا كِنَانَةُ مَا رَأَيْتُ

وَمِثْلَكِ يَا كِنَانَةُ مَا رَأَيْتُ

I have indeed come to the land of Kinana.

To the land of Nile delta I came

And never have I seen your like, O Kinana.

And none like you Nile I've seen

وَكَمْ نَهْرٍ قَصَدْتُ , فَمَا رَوَانِيْ

وَكَمْ نَهْرٍ قَصَدْتُ , فَمَا رَوَانِيْ

فَعُدْتُ لِمَاءِ نِيْلِكِ فَارْتَوَيْتُ

فَعُدْتُ لِمَاءِ نِيْلِكِ فَارْتَوَيْتُ

And many a river I sought, yet none quenched my thirst.

Many rivers I travelled, but none quenched my thirst

So I returned to the waters of your Nile and drank my fill.

So I returned to your water and got satisfied

وَنَقَّلْتُ الْخُطَىَ شَرْقاً , وَغَرْباً

وَنَقَّلْتُ الْخُطَىَ شَرْقاً , وَغَرْباً

فَكُنْتِ بِمُهْجَتِيْ أَنَّىَ مَشَيْتُ

فَكُنْتِ بِمُهْجَتِيْ أَنَّىَ مَشَيْتُ

And I carried my steps eastward and westward.

I walked east and west

And you were in my heart wherever I walked.

With you in my heart wherever I went

رَعَاكِ اللهُ يَا مِصْرَ الْحَضَارَهْ

رَعَاكِ اللهُ يَا مِصْرَ الْحَضَارَهْ

وَيَا مَهْدَ الْبُطُوْلَةِ , وَالْجَسَارَهْ

وَيَا مَهْدَ الْبُطُوْلَةِ , وَالْجَسَارَهْ

May God protect you, O Egypt of civilization,

May God protect you Egypt, land of civilization

And O cradle of heroism and daring.

Cradle of heroism and bravery
