Allah bağışlasın

I have a new cousin. The son of my uncle was born a couple of weeks ago.
In Turkey, when we hear that someone has a new baby, or meet someone that he has children, we say Allah bağışlasın

bağışlamak is a verb. It means "to excuse" or "to forgive" or "to have mercy". Allah bağışlasın is a saying something like "God bless him/her". Or you may think it as "May Allah (God) forgive him/her to you" (let the baby live with you), because of the belief that he/she is a gift from Him.

There is also one more saying for the babies: Allah analı babalı büyütsün. It means, "May Allah let the baby grow with the parents".
