lyrics

Geçmişin koyu,
Dolu dolu kavgalar
Kul ademin soyu,
Kudurdu da kuruttu,
Ömür suyunu

Ah dost,
Yakışır mıydı ölmek Haydar'a
Haydar kafeste hasret er meydanına

Eyvallahı yoktu,
Yolunda meyledeni çok
Kimilerinin abası,
Efendinin sopası yok

UYAN, SIĞMADI GÖKLERE DERYAN
YETMEDİ BEŞ KATLI DEVRAN
BİTMİYOR UMUT Bİ' YANDAN
UYAN, UYAN, UYAN
SIĞMADI GÖKLERE MEVTAN
TİTREDİ BEŞ KATLI DEVRAN
ÂYÂN OLSA BİR AN
HAYRAN OLUR HAYYAM

UYAN, SIĞMADI GÖKLERE DERYAN
YETMEDİ BEŞ KATLI DEVRAN
BİTMİYOR UMUT Bİ' YANDAN
UYAN, UYAN, UYAN
GÖRÜLMEDİ DEVR İ DAVAN
ÂYÂN OLSA BİR AN
HAYRAN SANA HAYYAM

Bile bile, yana yana
Göre göre kara kara
Bulutların üstüne yürür
Tek başına
Damlalar iner, asuman söner
Dereler kavuşur ırmağa

Bile bile, yana yana
Güle güle sana, dost
