Insan okudum [English translation]

Don't ask me whether I have studied

I didn't study books I studied humans

Studied the human making no difference between humans and books

thoroughly like a deep bottomless ocean

When I became a garden, my sprigs had roses

When I became earth souls crossed my path

People knowing languages couldn't handle my language

I studied the cure in my sorrow

I made my skin out of all kinds of earth

My vein, my marrow, my soul

My blood also flew in Kerbala

I recited Hüseyin and read Hasan

Just gave the order, I was called to the dervish lodge

The path is tough, I fell, got back up again

I got cooked and kneaded in the vessel of conversation

I studied enlightenment inbetween darkness

Refrain:

Studied studied I studied humans

I lost my heart and studied Shahi Merdan
