تِطْوَانُ مَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا تِطْوَانُ

سَالَتْ بِهَا الأَنْهَارُ وَالْخُلْجَانُ

Tetouan—and what will make you comprehend what Tetouan is?

Through her flow the rivers and the bays.

قُلْ إِنْ لَحَاكَ مُكَابِرٌ فِي حُبِّهَا

هِيَ جَنَّةٌ فِرْدَوْسُهَا الْكِيتَانُ

Say, should a stubborn critic rebuke your love for her:

She is a paradise whose Eden is Al-Kitan.
