1. You have stirred intense emotions and passions
That lay dormant in our souls

2. You visited us, O sons of Egypt, so we found
You to be the best of brothers when you visited us

3. We saw grace in the arts
And we saw arts in grace

4. And we saw renewal in art and talent
For art without renewal does not interest us

5. And we saw you, Fatima, so we saw charm
But they called it allure in you

6. If a branch sways, it sings merrily
Its singing awakens longing in us

7. Have you seen birds on branches?
Have you seen branches on birds?

8. And we saw brilliant ladies
And we saw brilliant talents

9. And we saw Al-Shuhrour composing verses
That if he repeats the tune he brings us back to life

10. The essence of beauty is lightness of spirit
And you all possess that

11. Then Abdel Aziz, in taste and arrangement
And organization that dazzles us

12. In it the delicacy of taste is revealed, leaving
A person confused and spellbound

13. The king of comedians, Abdel Nabi
By God he is the king of comedians

14. Light of spirit and weight, for if it descends
On the soul, it enlightens us

15. When he appears, happiness appears and joy appears
That delights the melancholic youth

16. The melancholic has only to see him
And the melancholic is no longer melancholic

17. It leaves a person stunned and influenced
As if the human were possessed by jinn

18. We have suckled the breast of the arts since childhood
So have mercy, Fatima, do not wean us

19. We befriended you, but you bid farewell
Or you abandon us after befriending us?

20. People of Marrakesh, tender hearts
Be mindful of God, O people, regarding us

21. Fatima, do not disappoint our hopes
May God not disappoint your hopes

22. We are in truth one body
In which the Pasha breathed a faithful soul

23. What name like that of Tahami?
The earth sings when he is mentioned

24. A master whose mention scents the place
Spreading fragrance that wafts to China

25. He is the pride of history, how much of the past
Eras with him we boasted!

26. And how we prided ourselves to Siwa
When they saw the truth of our words, they joined us

27. Eyes staring in awe
And hearts that yearned for him in longing

28. Our Lord, make him an eternal pride and treasure
Our Lord, make him an impregnable fortress

29. I have no reward but to pray for him
So say with me, Amen
