The Cherifian Anthem (Arabic: النشيد الشريف, romanizedan-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]
