    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

    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

    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…

    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.
