1. بِالنَصر عامك يا سَعيد بَشيرُ

    وَلمصر بِالإِقبال مِنكَ يُشيرُ

    Your year, O Sa‘id, is a herald of victory,

    and points to prosperity for Egypt through you.

  2. فَلَقَد بَنيت لَها بِحزمك في العُلا

    حُصناً مَنيعاً خصمه مَدحور

    For you have built for her, with your resolve, on high

    an impregnable fortress whose foe is routed.

  3. وَحفظتها بِشَهامة وَعَساكر

    مِن حَولِها فَوق الجِياد تَمور

    And you have protected her with gallantry and troops

    surging all around her upon steeds.

  4. وَلَها رفعت دَعائم العَدل الَّذي

    هُوَ في الرَعية دائِماً مَنشور

    And for her you have raised the pillars of justice, which

    is ever spread among the subjects.

  5. فَاِنشُر بِها أَعلام دَولتك الَّتي

    ما حازَها ملك سِواك خَطير

    So unfurl in her the banners of your realm, which

    no mighty king besides you has possessed.

  6. وَاسلم لَها طُول الزَمان فَرَوضُها

    بِمياه برِّك يا عَزيز نَضير

    And may you remain safe for her for all time, for her garden

    is verdant with the waters of your bounty, O mighty one.

  7. ما قالَ مَجدي حَيث أَرخ عاجِلاً

    بِالنَصر عامك يا سَعيد بَشير

    So long as Majdi says, promptly recording the date:

    Your year, O Sa‘id, is a herald of victory.
