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.
