hi everyone, can anyone please translate this song for me? i love it and would like to know the exact meaning...thank you so much, amos

zahit bizi tan eyleme
hak ismin okur dilimiz,
sakın efsane söyleme
hazrete varır yolumuz.

sayılmayız parmak ile,
tükenmeyiz kırmak ile.
taşramızdan sormak ile,
kimse bilmez ahvalimiz.

erenlerin çoktur yolu,
cümlesine dedik beli.
gören bizi sanır deli,
usludan yeğdir delimiz.

muhy-i sana ola himmet,
aşık ise cana minnet.
cümle alemlere rahmet,
saçar şu yoksul elimiz.

zahit bizi tan eyleme
ZAHİT* DON'T DEFAME US
hak ismin okur dilimiz
OUR TONGUE READS THE NAME OF THE GOD
sakın efsane söyleme
NEVER TELL TALES
hazrete** varır yolumuz
OUR WAY REACHES TO PEACE

sayılmayız parmak ile
WE CANNOT BE COUNTED BY FINGERS (means our number is so many that we cannot be counted)
tükenmeyiz kırmak ile
WE CANNOT BE EXHAUSTED BY BEING OFFENDED
taşramızdan sormak ile
BY ASKING ABOUT US FROM OUTSIDE
kimse bilmez ahvalimiz.
NOBODY KNOWS OUR CIRCUMSTANCE.

erenlerin çoktur yolu,
THE WAY OF THE SAINTS ARE SO MANY
cümlesine dedik beli.
WE SAID TO ALL ...***
gören bizi sanır deli,
THE ONE WHO SEES US THINKS WE ARE CRAZY
usludan yeğdir delimiz.
OUR CRAZY IS BETTER THAN WISE
Quite difficult translation

MUHYİ sana ola himmet,
MUHYİ**** the FAVOR IS TO YOU (I guess this means "god, favor belongs to you)
aşık ise cana minnet.
AND THE LOVER IS GRATEFUL TO LIFE
cümle alemlere rahmet,
MERCY TO THE WHOLE UNIVERSE
saçar şu yoksul elimiz.
SCATTERS OUR POOR HAND

*someone who shuns the world and its pleasures to devote himself to worship and pious works.
**This word is also used to refer God or for important religious figures. So the meaning can also be "OUR WAY REACHES TO GOD"
***I didn't understand what "beli" means here.
****MUHYİ is one of the names of God in Islam.
