يا أَيُّها الصَدر إنَّ العيد فيك تَلا

يا أَيُّها الصَدر إنَّ العيد فيك تَلا

آياتِ مَدحٍ لَها حسنُ الثناء تلا

آياتِ مَدحٍ لَها حسنُ الثناء تلا

O chief, indeed the feast has recited in your praise

O bosom, indeed the feast within you has recited

verses of praise, which fine acclaim has followed.

Verses of praise for it, praiseworthy recitation

وبالتهاني أتى يسعى إليك على

وبالتهاني أتى يسعى إليك على

إثر الصيام وَرَشفُ الثَغرِ مِنهُ حلا

إثر الصيام وَرَشفُ الثَغرِ مِنهُ حلا

And with congratulations it came hastening to you on

And with congratulations he came seeking you after

the heels of fasting, and sipping from its lips grew sweet.

Fasting and the lips sipping from it dissolved salt.

وَجيده قَد تَحلى مِن سَناك بِما

وَجيده قَد تَحلى مِن سَناك بِما

أربى على البَدر في أَنواره وَعلا

أربى على البَدر في أَنواره وَعلا

And its neck was adorned with something of your radiance that

His cheek has adorned itself with your splendor

outshone the full moon in brilliance and rose above it.

More radiant than the full moon in its lights, sublime.

وَصَدره بِكَ يا صَدر الزَمان غَدا

وَصَدره بِكَ يا صَدر الزَمان غَدا

في الكَون منشرحاً بِالأُنس مشتملا

في الكَون منشرحاً بِالأُنس مشتملا

And through you, O chief of the age, its breast became

His bosom, O bosom of time, has become

gladdened in the world, enfolded in delight.

In the universe elated with intimacy, filled.

إِذ كُل وَقت نَرى عَلياك فيهِ لَنا

إِذ كُل وَقت نَرى عَلياك فيهِ لَنا

عِيد بِهِ ملك مصر يبلغ الأَمَلا

عِيد بِهِ ملك مصر يبلغ الأَمَلا

For every moment in which we behold your eminence is for us

For we see in it for us every time

a feast through which Egypt's king attains his hope.

A feast in which the king of Egypt attains hopes.

لا زلت فيها مَع الأَشبال مزدهياً

لا زلت فيها مَع الأَشبال مزدهياً

في دَولة سادَت الأَمصار وَالدولا

في دَولة سادَت الأَمصار وَالدولا

May you remain resplendent there with the lion cubs,

I remain in it with the cubs joyous

in a realm that has held sway over cities and states,

In a state whose capitals and states dominated.

ما اِزداد نَظميَ تَشريفاً بِتهنئة

ما اِزداد نَظميَ تَشريفاً بِتهنئة

مِن الحَضيض بِها للأوج قَد نُقِلا

مِن الحَضيض بِها للأوج قَد نُقِلا

as long as my verse gains honor through a congratulation,

My composition has not increased in ennoblement with congratulations

lifted by it from the depths to the summit;

From lowliness with it to the summit transported.

وَما رَفعت بِإِخلاص عَلى عجلٍ

وَما رَفعت بِإِخلاص عَلى عجلٍ

يَدَ الدُعا بنجاز الأَمر مُبتهلا

يَدَ الدُعا بنجاز الأَمر مُبتهلا

and as long as I sincerely raise, in haste,

Nor have I raised with sincerity hastily

the hand of prayer for the matter's fulfillment, humbly imploring;

The hand of supplication for the fulfillment of the matter, pleading.

أَو الهَنا يَوم عيد الفطر أَرَّخَه

أَو الهَنا يَوم عيد الفطر أَرَّخَه

في مَصر لِلعيد باسماعيل شَمس علا

في مَصر لِلعيد باسماعيل شَمس علا

or joy recorded its date on the day of Eid al-Fitr:

Or joy on the day of Eid al-Fitr which dated

"In Egypt, through Ismail, the feast has a sun of glory."

In Egypt for the feast in the name of Ismail, lofty sun.
