يا مُقلِقي قَلَقي عَلَي

يا مُقلِقي قَلَقي عَلَي

كَ أَظُنُّهُ ذَنبي إِلَيكا

كَ أَظُنُّهُ ذَنبي إِلَيكا

O you who trouble me, my anxiety for

O you who disturb my anxiety about you

you—I deem it my offense against you.

As if I think my sin is against you

أَنتَ الشَقيقُ فَلَو جَنَي

أَنتَ الشَقيقُ فَلَو جَنَي

تَ لَما أَخَذتُ عَلى يَديكا

تَ لَما أَخَذتُ عَلى يَديكا

You are my brother; so if you did

You are the twin so if he committed a crime

wrong, I would not restrain your hands.

I would not take it upon your hands

أَمسَيتَ ثالِثَ ناظِرَي

أَمسَيتَ ثالِثَ ناظِرَي

يَ فَكَيفَ أَقذي ناظِرَيكا

يَ فَكَيفَ أَقذي ناظِرَيكا

You have become a third alongside the two eyes

You have become the third of my two eyes

of mine; how, then, could I cast grit into your two eyes?

So how can I annoy your two eyes?

وَكَفاكَ أَنّي لَستُ أَع

وَكَفاكَ أَنّي لَستُ أَع

قِدُ خِنصِري إِلّا عَلَيكا

قِدُ خِنصِري إِلّا عَلَيكا

And let it suffice you that I do not

It is enough for you that I do not intend

curl my little finger to count anyone but you.

To cheat anyone except you
