Yaqub looks into affairs,

Ya'qub looks into the heart of affairs,

while you look to one side.

while you gaze off to the side;

أَدخَلتَهُ فَعَلا عَلَي

أَدخَلتَهُ فَعَلا عَلَي

كَ كَذاكَ شُؤمُ الناصِيَه

كَ كَذاكَ شُؤمُ الناصِيَه

You brought him in, and he rose above

You brought him in, so he rose above you—

you—such is the ill omen of the forelock.

such is the ill omen of the forelock.
