Söz: Neşet Ertaş

Traveler who came to the world from a mother,
Did you fall in love when you saw the world?
Some are great, some are small, some are servants,
Did you ever wonder and ask about any of them?

Humans die, but their souls do not perish,
There are so many creatures, yet none of them smile,
The torment of hell is hard and unbearable,
Have you seen the animals that suffer?

Those born of humans become human,
Those born of animals become animals,
All of them come into this world,
Motherhood is a truth, have you grasped this secret?

Before your term is complete and your life is full,
Before the trustee takes back what was entrusted,
Before the rose of your life's garden withers,
Have you ever gone and pledged to a beloved?

We cry like a sorrowful nightingale,
In the hands of ignorance, we are vexed and grieved,
We are all travelers, coming and going this way,
Is the world your homeland, your country?
