Bir anadan dünyaya gelen yolcu
Passenger coming to this world from a mother,
Görünce dünyaya gönül verdin mi
Have you fallen in love with the world upon seeing,
Kimi böyü kim böcek kimi kurt
Some a spider, some a bug, others a wolf,
marak edip heçbirini sordun mu
Have you ever wondered about any,
Bunlar neden nedenini sordun mu
Why all this, have you asked why?
İnsan ölür ama uruhu ölmez
Man dies but not his soul,
Bunca mahlukat var heç biri gülmez
So many creatures but none of them smile,
Cehennem azabı zordur çekilmez
The torture in hell is hard, unbearable
Azap çeken hayvanları gördün mü
Have you seen the animals suffering?
Insandan doganlar insan olurlar
Humans are born from humans;
Hayvandan doganlar hayvan olurlar
Animals born from animals,
Hepiside bu dünyaya gelirler
All of them come to this world
Ana haktır sen bu sirra erdin mi
The mother is God, have you reached this secret?
Vade tekmil olup ömrün dolmadan
Before your time is up and your life is ended,
Emanetçi emaneti almadan
Before the trustee takes the trust back,
Ömrüyün baginin gülü solmadan
Before the rose of your life's garden fades,
Varip bir canana ikrar verdin mi
Have you given your word to a lover,
varip bir cananın kulu oldun mu
Have you been the servant of one?
Garip bülbül gibi feryat ederiz
We shriek like a poor nightingale
Cehalet(cahiller) elinde küskün kederiz
At the hands of ignorance we are sore and in sorrow
Hep yolcuyuz böyle geldik böyle gideriz
Always a passenger, so we came and so we go
Dünya senin vatanin mi yurdun mu?
Is the world your homeland or what?
