1. By your life, and by the sky and He who built it
And by the lights of the gazelle in its morning

2. You are most certainly the eminent, eminent ruler of Fez
And Fez is the paradise of the world, its beauty

3. Remove, O eye, the splendor of its ornaments
And take down, O longing, its lofty minarets

4. Its lofty minarets, you are for Allah, you
Are the planets of good fortune whose darkness has been erased

5. Not like the Kabaids, makers of its Creator's temptation
Descendants of its notables and father of its ascension

6. Its ascension through which it reached its purpose
And was before that incomparable

7. Whenever the masters beget its father
Its glory is perfected and its renown exalted

8. To him belong Mribau and Saffaya
And his rule and Annachita along with them

9. With the sign that to him hastened
Types of praises when he called them

10. He called them while they had tied up their love
So they unleashed it and it flew away with their passion

11. Their passion to see him most adorned
So it does not cease gushing his fragrance
