şu binayı kuran dülger
ne hoş sağlam temel atmış
insanlığa nispet diye
kısım kısım kul yaratmış
kimi yaya kimi atlı
kimi uçar çift kanatlı
dünya şirin, baldan tatlı
eyvah bana tuz mu katmış
ustası var çırağı yok
kazması var küreği yok
gök kubbenin direği yok
muallakta hoş yaratmış
bu dünyaya gelen bilmez
ağlayanlar neden gülmez
bir yer vardır ki bilinmez
ona "sır" demiş kapatmış
the builder who built this building
laid how nice and firm foundation
as a challenge to humanity
he created all sorts of creatures
some on foot, some on horse
some fly with two wings
the world is pleasant, sweeter than honey
alas, did he add salt to me
it has a master craftsman with no apprentice
it has pickax, but no shovel
the firmament has no pillars
he created it nicely afloat
those who come to this world don't know
why don't those who cry laugh
there's a place that's not known
he said "it's a secret" and closed it
Dear ilkin
Thank you very much!
This is what I want!
It's very beautiful and mysterious lyric...
Is it famous in Turkey?and who is the poet?
Anyway I am thank you again!
you're welcome rudramani.
the lyrics apparently belong to a sufi/mystic folk poet but i was unable to identify the poet.
as for the song, i don't know whether it's famous or not. i hadn't know it until i saw your post, and i couldn't find it on youtube, so i don't know how it sounds. i hope there is someone in the forum who can tell.
i don't know the singer either.
sorry i wasn't of much help, in fact, any help
Dear ilkin
Thank you again for your kindness !
I could not see this site for long time because of PC trouble.
Sorry for my delay comment.
This song is so beautiful even we don't know who is the poet…
Thank you very much
Dear Rudramani & Ilkin,
The lyrics above are from the song "Dulger" off the "Omar Faruk Tekbilek & Steve Shehan" album titled "Alif". If you find the album you can find out who wrote the actual lyrics. All of O. F, Tekbileks songs are beautiful, I reccomend you listen to "Mystical Garden" album.
i am searching for these lyrics a lot .... really you helped me a lot
