1. يا أيُّها القومُ الكرامُ ومَن غَدا

    يُسدى الثنآءُ لكم بكل لسَانِ

    O noble people, and you who have come to be

    Praised by every tongue,

  2. يا سَادةً حَفظوا المودَّة والوَلاَ

    وأَتوا بما اعتادوهُ من إحسانِ

    O gentlemen who have preserved affection and loyalty,

    And shown the kindness that is your custom.

  3. لا غروَ إن جئتم بكلّ فضيلةٍ

    وجبرتُم القلبَ الكسيرَ العاني

    No wonder you have displayed every virtue,

    And mended the broken, suffering heart.

  4. فلمثلكُم كرَمُ النُفُوس وطيبُها

    وصَداقةُ الإخوان والخلاَّنِ

    For people like you have nobility and goodness of soul,

    And the friendship of brothers and close companions.

  5. اليوم ردَّت مصرما أَخذت ويا

    أَسَفى فقد ردَّتهُ بالأَكفانِ

    Today Egypt returned what she took—and oh,

    My sorrow! For she returned him in shrouds.

  6. لم ينسَ عَدَكم القديمَ وقد أَتَى

    كي لا يزال مُجاورَ الأَوطانِ

    He did not forget your old pledge, and he has come

    So that he may always remain near his native lands.

  7. فلكُم جميلُ الشُكر منا سَرمداً

    ولهُ الدُعَا بالعفوِ والرضَوانِ

    So yours are our heartfelt thanks forever,

    And for him, prayers for pardon and divine favor.
