1. أَقْبَلْتُمَا بِرِعَايَةِ الرَّحْمَنِ

    وَقُلُوبُنَا لَكُمَا بِغَيْرِ رِهَانِ

    You both have come under the Most Merciful's care,

    And our hearts are yours, without a wager.

  2. أَنْقَذْتُمَا مَجْدَ الْحِمَى مِنْ رِيبَةٍ

    وَأَرَحْتُمَا الصَّرْعَى مِنَ الأَقْرَانِ

    You both saved the homeland's glory from doubt,

    And brought peace to the fallen among your peers.

  3. مَاتُوا كَمَا تَرْضَى الْعُلا وَمَرَرْتُمَا

    بِالمَوْتِ يَنْظُرُ نِظْرَةَ الخَزْيَانِ

    They died as glory would wish, and you both passed

    By Death, who looked on with the gaze of one disgraced.

  4. أَيْأَسْتُمَاهُ مِنْ حَبَائِلِ كَيْدِهِ

    تَتَعَثَّرَانِ بِهَا وَتَنْفَلِتَانِ

    You both made him despair of his cunning snares;

    You stumble in them, yet slip free.

  5. للهِ دَرُّكُمَا وَكُلِّ مُجَاهِدٍ

    يَقْفُوكُمَا فِي خِدْمَةِ الأَوْطَانِ

    God bless you both, and every striver

    Who follows you both in service to the homelands.

  6. رُدَّا إِلَى قُرْبٍ مَسَافَاتٍ نَأَتْ

    بَيْنَ الْهِلالِ وَصِنْوِهِ النُّورَانِي

    Close again the distances that have grown wide

    Between the crescent and its radiant twin.

  7. يَا أَيُّهَا الضَّيْفَانِ جَاءا مِنْ عَلٍ

    حُيِّيتُمَا يَا أَيُّهَا الضَّيْفَانِ

    O you two guests who came from on high,

    Welcome to you both, O you two guests!

  8. الرِّيفُ مُلْتَمِعُ الأَسِرَّةِ بَهْجَةً

    وَالنِّيلُ مُبْتَسِمٌ كَمَا تَرَيَانِ

    The countryside's brows shine with joy,

    And the Nile is smiling, as you both see.

  9. وَافَيْتُمَانَا مِنْ فَرُوقَ بِنَفْحَةٍ

    تَشْفِي النُّفُوسَ كَنَفْحَةِ الرَّيْحَانِ

    You both came to us from Faruq with a fragrant breeze

    That heals souls like the fragrance of basil.

  10. إِنَّا لَنَهْوَاهَا وَنَرْعَى عَهْدَهَا

    أَفَنَحْنُ فِي هَذَا الْهَوَى سِيَّانِ

    Indeed, we love her and keep faith with her;

    Are we, then, equal in this love?

  11. قُولا لَهَا بِاللهِ مَا أَحْسَسْتُمَا

    لِقُلُوبِنَا فِي الجَوِّ مِنْ خَفَقَانِ

    Tell her, by God, what you both felt

    Of our hearts' throbbing in the air.

  12. قُولا لَهَا بِاللهِ مَا لاقَيْتُمَا

    مِنْ مَعْشَرٍ فِي حُبِّهَا مُتَفَانِ

    Tell her, by God, what you both encountered

    Among a people selfless in their love for her.
