1. شعراءُ مصر لآلئ قد ضمها

    عقدٌ بهِ تاه العلى والسؤددُ

    Egypt's poets are pearls that have been gathered into

    A necklace in which eminence and nobility take pride.

  2. عقدٌ زهت فيهِ ثلاث فرائدٍ

    زهراءَ حافظُ والخليل وأحمد

    A necklace in which three peerless gems shone,

    Radiant: Hafez, al-Khalil, and Ahmad.
