اسلمي يا مصر
Be Safe, O Egypt

At this time, and as Egypt transitions from one historical phase to another, it is very important that we, Egyptians, all stick together and stay focused on the big picture. We need to forget about our differences and our personal demands, and remember that the betterment of Egypt comes as a first priority.
The words are taken from the Egyptian national anthem of 1923 till 1936. The words of the anthem were written by Mostafa Sadek El Rafei. The translation of the Arabic text is: "O children of Egypt go on to achieve pride and honour for Egypt and make its future bright. We would sacrifice the world for our Egypt, as our homeland must come first"
