The Hymne Chérifien (Hymn of the Sharif), has been the anthem of the Kingdom of Morocco even before the country gained its independence in 1956. Its music was written by Léo Morgan, and the final lyrics by Ali Squalli Houssaini in 1970.

Lyrics

Fountain of Freedom
Source of Light
Where sovereignty and safety meet,
Safety and sovereignty
May you ever combine!
You have lived among nations
With title sublime,
Filling each heart,
Sung by each tongue,
Your champion has risen
And answered your call.
For your soul and your body,
The victory they have conquered.
In my mouth
And in my blood
Your breezes have stirred
Both light and fire.
Up! my brethren,
Strive for the highest.
We call to the world
That we are here ready.
We salute as our emblem
God, Homeland, and King.
