Seyrimde bir şehre vardım
Gördüm sarayı güldür gül..
Sultânının tâcı tahtı
Bağ-ı duvarı güldür gül...

Gül alırlar gül satarlar
Gülden terâzi tutarlar
Gülü gül ile tartarlar
Çarşı pazarı güldür gül...

Toprağı güldür taşı gül
Kurusu güldür yaşı gül
Has bahçesinin içinde
Servi çınarı güldür gül...

Gülden değirmen döndürür
Ânın ile gül öğüdür
Akar suyu, döner çarkı
Bendi pınarı güldür gül...

Ak gül ile kırmızı gül
Çift yetişmiş bir bahçede
Bakışırlar hâr’a karşı
Hâr-ı ezhârı güldür gül...

Gülden kurulmuş bir çadır
İçinde nimeti hazır
Kapıcısı İlyas Hızır
Nan-ı şarabı güldür gül...

Ümmî Sinan gel vasfeyle
Gül ile bülbül devrini
Meğer bu garip bülbülün
Ah-ü figânı güldür gül..

I have reached a city during my journey
I have seen its castle made of roses
Its Sultan’s crown and throne,
Its garden and walls are made of rose.

They buy rose and they sell rose,
They build scales out of rose,
They weigh rose with rose,
Its markets and bazaars are made of rose.

Its land is rose, its rocks are rose
Its dried or fresh parts are rose
Within its private garden,
Its cypress and maple trees are made of rose.

They turn the windmills made of rose
And with that they grind the rose
Its water flows, its mill turns
Its dam and springs are made of rose.

White rose and red rose
Grown as a pair in one garden
They make eyes at the thorn
Its thorn and flowers are made of rose.

There is a tent built of rose
Its blessing is ready in it
Its attendants are Ilyas (as) and Hizir (as)
Its bread and wine are made of rose

Ummi Sinan (ks), come on, describe
The time of the rose and the nightingale
Apparently this poor nightingale’s,
Lamentation and cry is the rose.
