UYAN EY GÖZLERİM GAFLETTEN UYAN
Uyan ey gözlerim gafletten uyan!
Uyan uykusu çok gözlerim uyan
Azrail’in kastı canadır, inan.
Uyan ey gözlerim gafletten uyan!
Uyan uykusu çok gözlerim uyan
Seherde uyanırlar cümle kuşlar
Dill-u dillerince tesbihe başlar
Tevhid eyler dağlar taşlar ağaçlar
Uyan ey gözlerim gafletten uyan!
Uyan uykusu çok gözlerim uyan
Semâvâtın kapuların açarlar.
Mü’minlere rahmet suyun saçarlar…
Seherde kalkana hülle biçerler.
Uyan ey gözlerim gafletten uyan!
Uyan uykusu çok gözlerim uyan
Bu dünya fanidir sakın aldanma.
Mağrur olup tac-u tahta dayanma.
Yedi iklim benim deyu güvenme.
Uyan ey gözlerim gafletten uyan!
Uyan uykusu çok gözlerim uyan
Benim, Murad kulun, suçumu affet.
Suçum bağışlayub günahım ref’ et.
Rasûl’ün sancağı dibinde haşret.
Uyan ey gözlerim gafletten uyan!
Uyan uykusu çok gözlerim uyan

Wake up, o my eyes
One day, Sultan Murad III (who reigned the Ottoman Empire between 1574-1595) could not wake up for the dawn prayer (fajr), he felt so sorry, cried all day long and wrote this famous poem.
Wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
Wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up
Azrael’s intent is the soul, believe me
Wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
Wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up
All birds wake up before dawn
They start reciting God’s names in their own tongues
Mountains, rocks and trees declare His unity
Wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
Wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up
They open the doors of the heavens
They sprinkle the water of Mercy upon believers
They cut out garments of Paradise for those waking up at dawn
Wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
Wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up
This world is transient, don’t ever be deceived
Don’t rely on the crown and throne in vanity
Don’t feel confident by saying “the seven climates are mine”
Wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
Wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up
Forgive me, your servant Murad
Excuse my offenses, abolish my misdeeds
Resurrect me under the Messenger’s flag
Wake up, o my eyes, wake up from heedlessness
Wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up
______________________up from heedlessness Wake up, o my very sleepy eyes, wake up
