Uyan ey gözlerim gafletten uyan!
Uyan uykusu çok gözlerim uyan
Azrail'in kastı canadır, inan.
Uyan ey gözlerim gafletten uyan!
Uyan uykusu çok gözlerim uyan

Seherde uyanırlar cümle kuşlar
Dillu dillerince tesbihe başlar
Tevhid eyler dağlar taşlar ağaçlar
Uyan ey gözlerim gafletten uyan!
Uyan uykusu çok gözlerim uyan


wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up
azrael's intent is the soul, believe me
wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up

all birds wake up before dawn
they start reciting god's names in their own tongues
mountains, rocks and trees declare his unity
wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up

ellerine sağlık ilkin...

teşekkürler, pınar

****************
this is the part the chorus sings. i've forgotten to include it.


bu dünya fanidir, sakın aldanma
mağrur olup tac u tahta dayanma
yedi iklim benim deyu güvenme
uyan ey gözlerim gafletten uyan
uyan uykusu çok gözlerim uyan

this world is transient, don't ever be deceived
don't rely on the crown and throne in vanity (*)
don't feel confident by saying "the seven climates are mine" (*)
wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up
