Chorus

My homeland, my homeland, my homeland

You have my love and my heart.

My homeland, my homeland, my homeland

You have my love and my heart.

1.

Egypt! O mother of all Countries,

you are my hope and my ambition,

And above all people

Your Nile has countless graces

2.

Egypt! Most precious gem,

A blaze on the brow of eternity!

O my homeland, be for ever free,

Safe from every enemy!

3.

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.

4.

My homeland, my homeland, my homeland

You have my love and my heart.

My homeland, my homeland, my homeland

You have my love and my heart.
