اللهُ فَضَّلَنَا عَلَى مَنْ قَبْلَنَا

فَمَلِيكُنَا مَوْلاَيَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ

God has favored us above those who came before us,

for our sovereign king is Moulay Ismail.

فَالشُّهْبُ مِنْ عَزَمَاتِهِ مَذْعُورَةٌ

وَالْقَطْرُ يَحْسُدُ نَيْلَهُ وَالنِّيلُ

The shooting stars are terrified by his fierce resolve,

and the falling rain envies his bounty, as does the river Nile.
