1. يا سائلي عن موطني سأجيب عن

    ما السر في شمم و طيب المغرس

    O you who ask me about my homeland, I shall tell you

    the secret of its lofty pride and noble roots.

  2. شمم الأنوف لدى المغاربة استقى

    شمما تتيه به جبال الأطلس

    The lofty pride of Moroccan noses has drunk in

    a loftiness in which the Atlas Mountains glory.

  3. قوم قباب العز تضرب فوقهم

    و على بساط الجود أكرمُ جُلَّس

    A people above whom the tents of glory are pitched,

    And on generosity’s carpet, the most generous of companions.

  4. من يبغ كسْبَ النور كي يزهو به

    فوجوههم للنور أطيب مقْبَسِ

    Whoever seeks to gain light so as to glory in it,

    Then their faces are the finest source of light.

  5. ركبوا العلا و الفضل سادته همو

    بارَوْا فبزّوا في صفاء الأنفس

    They have mounted the heights, and they are virtue’s masters.

    They vied, then outstripped others in purity of soul.
