My country, my country, my country,

You have my love and my majesty.

My country, my country, my country,

You have my love and my majesty.

Egypt! O mother of all lands,

you are my hope and my ambition,

Your Nile has countless graces

Egypt! Most precious gem,

A blaze on the brow of eternity!

O my homeland, be for ever free,

Safe from every enemy!

Egypt, land of bounties

You are filled with the ancient glory

My purpose is to repel the enemy

And on God I rely

Egypt, noble are thy children.

Loyal, and guardians of the reins.

Be we at war or peace

We will sacrifice ourselves for you, my country.
