Bana Okudun Mu Diye Sormayın

Don't ask me if I read
I didn't read a book, I read people
Not separating the book from the person
I read the endless ocean of humanity

I became a garden, roses bloomed from my branches
I became earth, souls passed by my path
Those who speak the language didn't understand my tongue
I read the cure within my pain

I made all kinds of soils my skin

I read my veins, my marrow, my soul
In Kerbela, I shed my blood
I mentioned Huseyin, I read about Hasan

God commanded, I was called to a lodge
The path is tough, I fell, got up, straightened up
In the circle of conversation, I cooked, I kneaded
Among the ignorant, I read wisdom

Chorus
I read, I read, I read people
I gave my heart, I read the brave leader
