Lyrics

 * Ey şanlı ordu, ey şanlı asker
 * Haydi gazanfer umman-ı safter
 * Bir elde kalkan, bir elde hançer
 * Serhadde doğru ey şanlı asker.


 * Deryada olsa herşey muzaffer
 * Dillerde tekbir, Allahü ekber


 * Allahü ekber, Allahü ekber
 * Ordumuz olsun daim muzaffer.

English

 * O glorious army! O great soldier,
 * Come on the glorious sea of bastion smashers,
 * A shield in one hand and the dagger in the other,
 * Let's advance to the border O gallant soldier.


 * May everything be victorious in this sea.
 * Chanting the takbir, "Allah is the greatest"


 * Allah is greatest, Allah is greatest,
 * May our army be eternally victorious.
