اسلمى يا مصر إننى الفدا
ذى يدى إن مدت الدنيا يدا
أبدا لن تستكينى أبدا
إننى أرجو مع اليوم غدا
ومعى قلبى وعزمى للجهاد
ولقلبى أنت بعد الدين دين
كورال: لك يا مصر السلامة
وسلاما يا بلادى
إن رمى الدهر سهامه
أتقيها بفؤادى
واسلمى فى كل حين
أنا مصرى بنانى من بنى
هرم الدهر الذى أعيا الفنا
وقفة الأهرام فيما بيننا
لصروف الدهر وقفتى أنا
فى دفاعى وجهادى للبلاد
لا أميل لا أمل لا ألين
كورال
ويك يا من رام تقييد الفلك
أى نجم فى السما يخضع لك
وطن الحر سمًا لا تمتلك
والفتى الحر بأفقه ملك
لا عدا يا أرض مصر فيكِ عاد
أننا دون حماكى أجمعين
كورال
للعلا أبناء مصر للعلا
وبمصر شرفوا المستقبلا
وفدًا لمصرنا الدنيا فلا
نضع الأوطان إلا أولا
جانبى الأيسر قلبه الفؤاد
وبلادى هى لى قلبى اليمين

Kurâl
Be safe, O Egypt; I will sacrifice
There is my hand for you, if the world raised a hand [to hurt you]
Never you shall yield, never
I am hoping for tomorrow [to be better]
My heart and my determination are with me to fight and sacrifice with
And to my heart, O Egypt, you are a religion, after my religion
Chorus: Safety for you, O Egypt
And peace, O my homeland
If eternity threw its arrows [at you]
I would shield thee with my heart
And be safe in all times
I am an Egyptian, built by the founders of the
Everlasting pyramid, which defeated doom
Like the pyramids stand, I will stand
Against the difficulties and problems of eternity
In my defense and fight for my country
I do not lean, get bored, or yield
Chorus
Be careful, you who are trying to chain the orbits
Which star in the sky is under your control
The homeland of the free is a sky that cannot be possessed
And the free youngsters are owners by their horizons
There is no enemy on your ground anymore, O Egypt
We are all for your protection
Chorus
To great heights, O sons and daughters of Egypt, to great heights
And honor the future by Egypt
The whole world to us is to sacrifice for our Egypt, because
we put our nation only first
My left side has my heart
And my homeland is the heart of my right side
