“Aqqa‑ayi raḥeɣ din, mani wer jjin min nnan,
Ḥedd yeqqar nnufren, hedd yenna xlan.
Awal yettmud uma-s, ttsewwasen ixsan,
Tirja‑inu tiysi‑ayi, rewleɣ zi merwes‑iwdan.”
Aqqa-ayi ruḥeɣ din, ufiɣ agdud yegnu!
Tweḍḍer‑as tmaziɣt, merra teqqar: “inu!”
Tɣuri ugin ad tt-ɣren, tira dlint s usegnu,
Lemden qqaɛ ilsawen, iles-nnsen deg wanu.
Zi min ttɛawadent teqdimin,
Di llyali n tkerza tisemmaḍin,
Tteslant i meddez ittawi deg‑s,
Itterra s lḥess di ddmani idez.
Zi min ttɛawadent ɛawed:
“Meɣridu mala ilaɣa‑dd ssɣed,
Mala tennid‑as: ah ‑ d mezleɣ,
Ittawyen iman yuzeɣ”
“Mli nettmud ulawen,
am nettmud iwalen”
Min xaf‑i icedden?
Min x‑asen icedden?
Ad ayi-wten deg wuru, ad kkern ad bedden,
Ad ayi‑ggen ula d necc ccan jer yenni yetteccan,
Ad dewleɣ jer‑asen d ajellid n yezlan!
Min xaf‑i icedden?
Min x‑asen icedden?
D Tira xaf-i, x-awem,
