Turkish & English Translation

Korkma! Sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak;Fear not! For the crimson flag that proudly waves in these dawns, shall never fade,

Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak.Before the last fiery hearth that is ablaze within my nation burns out.

O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak!And that, is the star of my nation, and it will forever shine;

O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak!It is mine; and solely belongs to my nation.

Çatma kurban olayım, çehreni ey nazlı hilâl;Frown not, I beseech you, oh thou coy crescent,

Kahraman ırkıma bir gül… Ne bu şiddet, bu celâl?But smile upon my heroic nation! Why the anger, why the rage?

Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarımız sonra helâl;The blood we shed for you will not be worthy otherwise;

Hakkıdır Hakk’a tapan, milletimin istiklâl.For freedom is the absolute right of my God-worshipping nation.

Ben ezelden beridir hür yaşadım, hür yaşarım.I have been free since the beginning and forever will be so.

Hangi çılgın bana zincir vuracakmış? Şaşarım!What madman shall put me in chains! I defy the very idea!

Kükremiş sel gibiyim: Bendimi çiğner, aşarım.I’m like the roaring flood; powerful and independent,

Yırtarım dağları, enginlere sığmam, taşarım.I’ll tear apart mountains, exceed all that is known to Man, and still gush out!

Garb’ın âfâkını sarmışsa çelik zırhlı duvar;The lands of the West may be armored with walls of steel,

Benim imân dolu göğsüm gibi serhaddim var.But I have borders guarded by the mighty chest of a believer.

Ulusun, korkma! Nasıl böyle bir îmanı boğar,Recognize your innate strength! And think: how can this fiery faith ever be killed,

“Medeniyyet!” dediğin tek dişi kalmış canavar?By that battered, single-toothed monster you call “civilization”?

Arkadaş! Yurduma alçakları uğratma sakın;My friend! Leave not my homeland to the hands of villainous men!

Siper et gövdeni, dursun bu hayâsızca akın.Render your chest as armor! Stop this disgraceful rush!

Doğacaktır sana va’dettiği günler Hakk’ın,For soon shall be come the day of promised freedom…

Kim bilir, belki yarın, belki yarından da yakın.Who knows? Perhaps tomorrow? Perhaps even sooner!

Bastığın yerleri “toprak!” diyerek geçme, tanı!See not the soil you tread on as mere earth,

Düşün altındaki binlerce kefensiz yatanı.But think about the thousands beneath you that lie without even shrouds.

Sen şehîd oğlusun, incitme, yazıktır atanı:You’re the noble son of a martyr, take shame, hurt not your ancestor!

Verme, dünyaları alsan da, bu cennet vatanı.Unhand not, even when you’re promised worlds, this paradise of a homeland.

Kim bu cennet vatanın uğruna olmaz ki fedâ?What man would not die for this heavenly piece of land?

Şühedâ fışkıracak toprağı sıksan, şühedâ!Martyrs would gush out if you just squeeze the soil! Martyrs!

Cânı, cânânı, bütün varımı alsın da Hudâ,May God take all my loved ones and possessions from me if he will,

Etmesin tek vatanımdan beni dünyâda cüdâ.But may he not deprive me of my one true homeland for the world.

Rûhumun senden ilâhî şudur ancak emeli:O Lord, the sole wish of my heart is that,

Değmesin ma’bedimin göğsüne nâ-mahrem eli!No infidel’s hand should touch the bosom of my temple.

Bu ezanlar – ki sehâdetleri dînin temeli –These adhans, the shahadah of which is the base of the religion,

Ebedî, yurdumun üstünde benim inlemeli.Shall sound loud over my eternal homeland.

O zaman vecd ile bin secde eder – varsa – taşım;Then my tombstone – if there is one – will a thousand times touch its forehead on earth in ecstasy,

Her cerîhamdan, İlâhi, boşanır kanlı yaşım;O Lord, tears of blood flowing out of my every wound,

Fışkırır rûh-i mücerred gibi yerden na’şım!My corpse will gush out from the earth like a spirit,

O zaman yükselerek Arş’a değer, belki, başım!And then, my head will perhaps rise and reach the heavens.

Dalgalan sen de şafaklar gibi ey şanlı hilâl!So flap and wave like the dawning sky, oh glorious crescent,

Olsun artık dökülen kanlarım hepsi helâl.So that our every last drop of blood may finally be worthy!

Ebediyyen sana yok, ırkıma yok izmihlâl:Neither you nor my nation shall ever be extinguished!

Hakkıdır, hür yaşamış, bayrağımın hürriyet;For freedom is the absolute right of my ever-free flag;

Hakkıdır, Hakk’a tapan, milletimin istiklâl.For freedom is the absolute right of my God-worshipping nation!
