شويخ من ارض مكناس - Abdul Majeed Abdullah Übersetzung ins Englische

شويخ من ارض مكناس

شويخ من ارض مكناس وسط الاسواق يغني
اش علي انا من الناس وش على الناس مني
اش عليا ياصاحب من جميع الخلايق
افعل الخير تنجو واتبع اهل الحقايق
لا تقل يا ابني كلمه الا ان كنت صادق
خذ كلامي في قرطاس واكتبه حرز عني
اش علي انا من الناس وش على الناس مني
ثم قول مبين ولا يحتاج عباره
اش على حد من حد افهموا بالاشاره
انظروا كبر سني والعصا والغراره
هكذا عشت في فاس وكذا هوني هوني
اش علي انا من الناس وش على الناس مني
وما احسن كلامه اذا يخطر في الاسواق
تره اهل الحوانيت يلفتوا له بالاعناق
الغراره في عنقه وعكيكز وعكاز
شويخ مبني على ساس ان شأ الله مبني
اش علي انا من الناس وش على الناس مني
يا الهي رجوتك جود علينا بتوبه
بالنبي قد سالتك والكرام الاحبه
الرجيم قد شغلني وانا معه بنشبه
قد ملا قلبي وسواس من ما هو يبغي مني
اش علي انا من الناس واش على الناس مني
شويخ من ارض مكناس وسط الاسواق يغني
اش علي انا من الناس وش على الناس مني

A Sheik from the Land of Meknes

A sheik from the land of Meknes sings in the midst of the marketplace
What do I care about people, and what do people care about me?
What is it to me, my friend, from all of creation?
Do good and you will be saved, and follow the people of the truth
Do not speak a word, my son, unless you are truthful
Take my advice on paper and write it down as a charm from me
What do I care about people, and what do people care about me?
Then say something clear that does not need explanation
What is it to one person from another? Understand by the sign
Look at my advanced age, my cane, and my turban
This is how I lived in Fez, and this is how I am here
What do I care about people, and what do people care about me?
And his speech is so beautiful when he appears in the marketplace
Surely the shopkeepers turn their necks to him
A turban around his neck, a staff and a crutch
An old man built on a foundation, God willing, he is well-built
What do I care about people, and what do people care about me?
My God, I beseech you, grant us repentance
By the Prophet, I ask you, and the beloved ones
The accursed one has preoccupied me, and I am in conflict with him
He has filled my heart with وسواس (obsessive thoughts) from what he wants from me
What do I care about people, and what do people care about me?
A sheik from the land of Meknes sings in the midst of the marketplace
What do I care about people, and what do people care about me?
