1.
Korkma, sonmez bu ?afaklarda yuzen al sancak;
Sonmeden yurdumun ustunde tuten en son ocak.
O benim milletimin y?ld?z?d?r parlayacak;
O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak.

1.
Never fear! For the crimson flag that proudly waves in these dawns, shall never fade,
Before the last fiery hearth that is ablaze within my nation burns out.
For it is the star of my nation, and it will forever shine;
It is mine; and solely belongs to my valiant nation.

2.
Catma, kurban olay?m cehreni ey nazl? hilal!
Kahraman ?rk?ma bir gul! ne bu ?iddet bu celal?
Sana olmaz dokulen kanlar?m?z sonra helal,
Hakk?d?r, Hakk'a tapan, milletimin istiklal!
|
2.
Frown not, I beseech you, oh thou coy crescent,
But smile upon my heroic race! Why the anger, why the rage? ﾂｹ
Our blood which we shed for you will not be worthy otherwise;
For freedom is the absolute right of my God-worshipping nation.
