Lyrics

Arabic lyrics[1] Transliteration English translation[2]
بلادي بلادي بلادي
لك حبي وفؤادي
بلادي بلادي بلادي
لك حبي وفؤادي
مصر يا أم البلاد
أنت غايتي والمراد
وعلى كل العباد
كم لنيلك من أيادي
مصر أنت اغلى درة
فوق جبين الدهر غرة
يا بلادي عيشي حرة
واسلمي رغم الأعادي
مصر أولادك كرام
أوفياء يرعوا الزمام
نحن حرب وسلام
و فداكي يا بلادي

Chorus
My country, my country, my country
You have my love and my heart.
My country, my country, my country
You have my love and my heart.
Egypt! O mother of all Countries,
you are my hope and my ambition,
And above all people
Your Nile has countless graces
Chorus
Egypt! Most precious gem,
A blaze on the brow of eternity!
O my homeland, be for ever free,
Safe from every enemy!
Chorus
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.
Chorus


History

The lyrics were written by Mohamed Younis Al-Qady and Sayed Darwish composed the music and maintained close ties with early leaders of the national movement for independence in Egypt, such as Mustafa Kamel. In fact, the chorus of Egypt's national anthem were derived from one of Kamel's most famous speeches.[3][4]

Egypt's first national anthem dated back to 1869 when a royal anthem was composed to honor the monarch. It is unclear how long this anthem was in use. Although the monarchy was deposed in 1952, the anthem was used as part of the anthem of the United Arab Republic with Syria in 1958.[5]
