Mehmetçik's March

Peygamber ocağı ordumuz bizim

Our army is the home of the prophet

İlâhi adâlet derdimiz bizim

Divine justice is our wish

Tüm İslâm âlemi yurdumuz bizim

All of the Islamic world is our homeland

Al bayrak âşıktır dalgalanmaya!

The red flag is in love with waving!

Îmân ile dolu bizde her nefer

Our soldiers are all faithful

Allah nasip etsin yeni bir zafer

May Allah grant a new victory

Mehmetçiğe sorduk, nereye sefer;

We asked Mehmetçik1, Where is the campaign going towards?

Dedi istikâmet Kızılelma’ya!

Said he, The direction is Kızıl Elma!2

Mehmet’im canhıraş hedef tararken

While our Mehmet rakes the targets

Kapkara bir duman ufku sararken

While a pitch black smoke covers the horizon

Kalleşler kaçacak delik ararken

While the treacherous look for a place to hide

Yiğitler cân atar şehid olmaya!

Brave men are willing to fall martyrs

Böyle bir milletin bulunmaz eşi

There is no such nation in the world

Kimse söndüremez doğan güneşi

No one can set this rising sun back

Harlandı yürekte îmân ateşi

The fire of the faith is in flames

Kendini gösterdi o kutlu maya!

That sacred self has shown itself up

Biz bu meydanlarda harmanız, harman!

We pour along these squares!

Mazluma umuduz, dertliye dermân

We are hope to the oppressed, remedy to the sufferer

Fâtih’in, Yavuz’un yazdığı fermân

The decrees Fatih and Yavuz3 had written

Başladı yeniden anlam bulmaya…

Have found their meaning again

Heyecan kaplamış bugün her yeri

Every heart is full of anxiety today

İşte başkomutan, işte askeri

Here is the commander-in-chief, here are his soldiers

Haydi mehterbaşı, coştur mehteri!

Go on mehterbaşı4, stir the mehter up!

Yürekler başlasın aşkla dolmaya…

Be hearts filled with passion...
