أَأَهْلَ سَلاَ أَهْلَ السُّلُوِّ عَنِ الْبُخْلِ

سَلِمْتُمْ وَدُمْتُمْ فِي مُسَالَمَةِ الْمَحْلِ

Do I ask the people of peace about stinginess?

O people of Salé, a people who have forsaken all stinginess,

You are safe and remain in the peace of the land,

May you stay safe, forever secure from the ravages of drought,

خُصُوصاً بِهَا أَهْلَ الرِّبَاطِ فَإِنَّهُمْ

أُنَاسٌ يُنَسِّي أُنْسُهُمْ عَطْفَةَ الأَهْلِ

Especially those of you in the fortresses, for you

And especially the people of Rabat, for indeed they are

Are people whose company makes one forget the warmth of relatives.

A people whose warm companionship makes one forget the embrace of family;

يُدَاوُونَ أَدْوَاءَ النَّوَى بِنَوَالِهِمْ

وَيَسْقُونَ عَافِيهِمْ بِآنِيَةِ الْفَضْلِ

They cure the illnesses of purpose with their generosity,

They cure the maladies of exile with their generous bounty,

And quench the thirst of the healthy with the vessel of nobility.

And they quench the thirst of those who seek them from the vessels of grace.
