وَناشر أَعلام اليَراع بِنَثره

وَناشر أَعلام اليَراع بِنَثره

لإسعاف مَظلوم وَنَصر مُوَحِّدِ

لإسعاف مَظلوم وَنَصر مُوَحِّدِ

And one who unfurls the pen's banners with his prose,

Spreading the banners of guidance with his inspiration

To aid the wronged and champion a believer in God's oneness.

To aid the oppressed and support the monotheist

فَلا تَحسبنّي ملت لِلغَير عِندَما

فَلا تَحسبنّي ملت لِلغَير عِندَما

سريت إِلى البَيت العَتيق المشيّدِ

سريت إِلى البَيت العَتيق المشيّدِ

So do not think I turned to another when

Think not that I have inclined to another faith when

I journeyed by night to the lofty Ancient House.

I went to the ancient consecrated house

وَلَكنني آليت أنِّيَ لَم أَزَل

وَلَكنني آليت أنِّيَ لَم أَزَل

أَهيم عَلى وَجهي بِوادٍ وَفدفد

أَهيم عَلى وَجهي بِوادٍ وَفدفد

But I have sworn that I shall not cease

Rather I decided that I have not ceased

Wandering aimlessly through valley and wasteland,

Roaming the valleys confused

إِلى أَن أَرى في مَصر نُورك ساطِعاً

إِلى أَن أَرى في مَصر نُورك ساطِعاً

بِمجلس أَحكام العَزيز فَأَهتَدي

بِمجلس أَحكام العَزيز فَأَهتَدي

Until I see your light shining in Egypt,

Until I see your light shining in Egypt

In al-Aziz's council of justice, and so find my way.

In the council of the Almighty so I find guidance
