Abdülhamid Han [English translation]

The railroads in the Hijaz he spread

The Hamidian regiments were established

Tens of thousands of souls to the borders ran

Chorus:

Commander-in-chief, Khaqan Abdulhamid Han

May his place be Paradise, Sultan Abdulhamid Han

A new shipyard in the Gulf he built

Submarines to sea he sent

Darul Ajaza and Guraba he found

Chorus

In knowledge, science, and technique not left behind

Many schools and roads are his work

We had become a universal power during his reign

Chorus

Oppress not and let nobody else oppress did he

Give not and let go not of a span place did he

In the service of the people, a soldier of Truth

Chorus

He always wanted for his people to be exalted

For the honor of the Ottoman to fill the world

For the universe at attention in his presence to stand
