Lyrics with English translation:

Hak sevdası vardır bende
Durmaz yanar bu can tende
Ah ne durursun bu fanide
Hemen soyun gir devrana
Hele hele soyun çık meydana

(I have the Love for Truth
My soul burns inside this body
Oh why to be in this mortal being
Get naked now and step into devran*
Get naked and come to meydan** )

Sen dervişsin bir ulu dağsın
Koy üstüne karlar yağsın
Döven de dövsün söven de sövsün
Hemen soyun gir devrana
Hele hele soyun çık meydana

(You are a dervish, a high mountain
Let the snow fall on you
Let them condemn, let them swear
Get naked now and step into devran
Get naked and come to meydan)

Dervişliği ister canım
Hu demeye kaynar kanım
Hu dedikçe titrer canım
Hemen soyun gir devrana
Hele hele soyun çık meydana

(I long for dervishhood
and saying HU with my whole being
My soul trembles as I recite HU
Get naked now and step into devran
Get naked and come to meydan)


*devran: the spin, the constant course of everything that keeps turning, also refers to circular nature of time and being

**meydan: sacred ritual space, also refers to life that is the space to practise the high virtues of humanity and what Order*Path requires you to learn.
