- El çek tabib el çek yaram üstünden 
 Sen benim derdime deva bilmezsin
 Sen nasıl tabibsin yoktur ilacın
 Yaram yürektedir sarabilmezsin
 
 Sana derim sana ey kalbi hayın
 Kimseler çekmesin feleğin yayın
 Yıkıp harab ettin gönül sarayın
 Alıp bir taşını koyabilmezsin
 
 Emrah'ım dinledin benim sözlerim
 Muhabettin can evimde gizlerim
 Ne duruyon ağlasana gözlerim
 Bir daha yarini görebilmezsin- Get your hand away from my wound, doctor! 
 You don´t know the cure of my pain
 What kind of a doctor are you? You don't have medicine.
 My wound is on my heart, you can´t bandage it.
 
 I say you, o false-hearted!
 May nobody pull the string of fate's bow
 You demolished and destroyed the palace of heart.
 You can´t take and put back even one stone of it.
 
 I am Emrah, you listened to my words.
 I hide your love in home of my heart:
 Why do you stop, cry my eyes.
 You can't see the beloved one more time.
