The Cherifian Anthem (Arabic: النشيد الشريف, romanized: an-našīd aš-šarīf)[1][a] is the national anthem of Morocco. Composed by French military officer and chief of music for the royal Moroccan guard Léo Morgan [fr], it has been in use since the French protectorate period. Lyrics were written for it by the Moroccan author and poet Professor Ali Squalli Houssaini and adopted in 1970.[2]

History

[edit]

The anthem's melody was composed by Léo Morgan [fr], a French military officer and chief of music for the Moroccan royal guard, during the French protectorate. The anthem was believed to have been composed in 1952, four years before Morocco's independence in 1956.[1]

After the Moroccan national football team qualified for the 1970 FIFA World Cup for the first time, the idea to write lyrics for the anthem was proposed. Lyrics by writer Ali Squalli Houssaini were either chosen as part of a competition by King Hassan II, or by direct commission of the king to write the lyrics.[3]

منبت الأحرار
مشرق الأنوار
منتدى السؤدد وحماه
دمت منتداه وحماه
عشت في الأوطان
للعلى عنوان
ملء كل جنان
ذكرى كل لسان
بالروح
بالجسد
هب فتاك
لبى نداك
في فمي وفي دمي
هواك ثار نور ونار
إخوتي هيا
للعلى سعيا
نشهد الدنيا
أنا هنا نحيا
بشعار
الله الوطن الملك

Root of the free,
Rising place of the Lights,
Forum of glory and its protector,
May you perpetuate as its forum and its protector.
May you live among the homelands
As an address for grandeur
Filling every garden
conveyed by every tongue.
With the spirit,
With the body,
Your son has come
To answer your call.
In my mouth and in my blood,
Your love stirred up as light and fire.
Let's go brothers!
Heading for grandeur,
Making the world witness
That we here perpetually live
With the motto:
God, Homeland, King.
