Haktan gelen Åerbeti içtik elhamdülillah
Åol kudret denizini geçtik elhamdülillah
Kuru idik yaÅ olduk ayak idik baÅ olduk
Kanatlandık kuŠolduk uçtuk elhamdülillah
Åol karÅıki daÄları meÅeleri baÄları
SaÄlık sefalık ile geçtik elhamdülillah
VardıÄımız illere Åol sefa gönüllere
Baba Tapduk ma'nisin saçtık elhamdülillah
â¢â¢â¢
The drink sent down from Truth, we drank it, glory be to God.
And we sailed over the Ocean of Power,
glory be to God
We were dry, but we moistened. We became feet we became the head
We grew wings and became birds, and ï¬ew, glory be to God.
Beyond those hills and oak woods, beyond those vine-yards and gardens,
we passed in health and joy, glory be to God.
To whatever lands we came, in whatever hearts, in all humanity,
We planted the meanings Taptuk taught us, glory be to God.
(Translation by Kabir Helminski)
