Qurtulush yolida sudek aqti bizning qanimiz, Sen üchün, ey yurtimiz, bolsun pida bu janimiz. Qan këchip, hem jan bërip, axir qutuldurduq sëni, Qelbimizde qutquzushqa bar idi imanimiz.   Yaru hemdem boldi bizning himmitimiz sen üchün, Dunyani sorighan idi himmet bilen ejdadimiz. Yurtumiz, biz yüz-közüngni qan bilen pakizliduq, Emdi hëch kirletmigeymiz, chünki türktur namimiz.   Atilla, Chinggiz, Tömür dunyani titretken idi, Jan bërip shan alimiz, biz hem ular ewladibiz. Chiqti jan, hem aqti qan, düshmendin boldi el-aman Yashisun, hëch ölmisun, parlansun istiqbalimiz

Our blood flowed like water on the path of salvation For your oh our Homeland, may our lives be a sacrifice. By giving our blood and lives we finally saved you, We had the faith in hearts for your salvation. Oh, our Homeland, we cleansed your face and eyes with blood, With the rising flame, our name has been cleansed Our efforts became a friend / lover to you Broad and Famous with Effort were our Ancestors Our forefathers’ battles will not be erased from the pages of history Their offspring are left warriors, we are their descendants. We gave our lives, spilled our blood and had our revenge from the enemy Long live, for eternity, may our future shine.
