Lyrics[edit]
- Ey şanlı ordu, ey şanlı asker
- Haydi gazanfer umman-ı safter
- Bir elde kalkan, bir elde hançer
- Serhadde doğru ey şanlı asker.
- Deryada olsa herşey muzaffer
- Dillerde tekbir, Allahü ekber
- Allahü ekber, Allahü ekber
- Ordumuz olsun daim muzaffer.
English[edit]
- O glorious army! O great soldier,
- Come on the glorious sea of bastion smashers,
- A shield in one hand and the dagger in the other,
- Let's advance to the border O gallant soldier.
- May everything be victorious in this sea.
- Chanting the takbir, "Allah is the greatest"
- Allah is greatest, Allah is greatest,
- May our army be eternally victorious.
