Ala Gözlü Nazlı Pirim [English translation]

Sage one with colourful eyes

My heart turns around you

I love you and you run away

Where is your faith

Ali*, my Sultan, Ali, my healer

Ali, my guide, Ali, come to my help

Wise is whom I praise

Whom I dream of their love

I am not to be blamed, my dear

It is who that tends to you
