I envy you.

I envy you oh young Egyptian!

Who cleaned the Tahrir Square,

While protesting, side-by-side,

With his fellow Egyptians.

…

I envy you because,

You have found your reawakening today,

You have owned the Earth,

You live on.

…

I envy you, because,

My earth is still owner-less.

For, my masters, like your masters,

Are equally unaware,

Of the power their public holds.

…

I envy you because,

I don’t have my reawakening yet.

For, I don’t have the revolution,

That will bring light to my people,

and to my land.
