Allahnı kölü külmesin

/allaxnɯ køly kylmesin/

Literal translation

may God's heart not laugh

A deprecatory wish used when saying something that might tempt fate or seem improper: may God not take offence at it, may God not hold it against us.

Allahnı da kölü külmesin ansı, aŋa quwanırığım oquna keledi, – dedi Mustafirni atası."God forbid I should say it, but I could almost rejoice at that," said Mustafir's father.
