Bugün bize pir geldi
today the pir came to us (1)
Gülleri taze geldi
his roses came fresh
Önü sıra kamberi
before him, his kamber (2)
Aliyyelmurteza geldi
ali el-murteza came (3)
Eyvallah şahım eyvallah
greetings my shah, greetings (4)
Hak la ilahe illallah
the truth, there's no god but allah
Eyvallah pirim eyvallah
greetings my shah, greetings
Adı güzeldir güzel şah
his name is beautiful, beautiful shah
Ali bizim şahımız
ali is our shah
Kabe kıblegahımız
kaaba is our qiblah place
Mi'raçtaki Muhammed
muhammed in the mi'raj
O bizim padişahımız
he is our great king
Padişahım yaradan
our king, the creator
Okur aktan karadan
he reads through white or black
Ben pirimden ayrıldım
i have been away from my pir
Bin yıl geçti aradan
it's been a thousand years
Aramı uzattılar
they've kept me away for a long time
Yarama tuz bastılar
they sprinkled salt on my wound
Fazlı'dan bir kul geldi
a servant from fazlı came
Bedestanda sattılar
they sold him in the market
Sattılar bedestanda
they sold him in the market
Ses verir gülistanda
his voice sounds in the rose garden (5)
Muhammed'in hatemi
the ring of muhammed
Bergüzardır aslanda
is a gift given to the lion (6)
