يا أخي مِنْ أبي وما كان يَزْني

يا أخي مِنْ أبي وما كان يَزْني

حاشَ للَّهِ بل صحيحُ التَّقِيَّهْ

حاشَ للَّهِ بل صحيحُ التَّقِيَّهْ

O my brother on my father's side—and he never fornicated;

O my brother, my father was never unchaste

God forbid! Rather, his piety was sound.

Far be it from Allah, rather he was truly devout

غيرَ أَنَّ التي رمتْ بكَ بنتاً

غيرَ أَنَّ التي رمتْ بكَ بنتاً

شرعتْ فَرْجَها لِحَوْضِ المَنِيَّهْ

شرعتْ فَرْجَها لِحَوْضِ المَنِيَّهْ

Yet she who cast you forth as a daughter

But she who accused you was a girl

opened her vulva to the pool of death.

Who offered up her vulva to the font of semen

ليسَ منه ولا من الموت بُدٌّ

ليسَ منه ولا من الموت بُدٌّ

لرشيدٍ ولا لنفسٍ غويَّهْ

لرشيدٍ ولا لنفسٍ غويَّهْ

There is no escaping it, nor death,

Neither Rashid nor any wandering soul can escape death

for a right-minded man or a wayward soul.

Forgive my sin through Him who grants you

اعفُ عني خطيئتي بالذي يُعْ

اعفُ عني خطيئتي بالذي يُعْ

طيكَ ما تشتهي من القحطبيَّهْ

طيكَ ما تشتهي من القحطبيَّهْ

Forgive me my sin, by Him who gives

All the firewood you desire from Al-Qahtaniyah

you what you desire from the Qahtabiyya.
