He play a saz ( a instrument used by turkish folk singers) and recite selecte verses of Yunus Emre , an ancient poet:

DOLAP NİÇİN İNİLERSİN

Water-wheel, why do you moan?

For I've troubles, I moan.

I fell in love with the lord,

That is why I moan.

My name is troubled water-wheel,

My water flows pure,

Thus, as the Lord wishes,

For I've troubles,

I moan.

They found me on a mountain,

They broke my arms and wings,

They found me fit for a water-wheel,

For I've troubles,

I moan.

I'm a tree of a mountain,

Neither sweet, nor bitter,

I'm thankful to the Lord,

For I've troubles, I moan.

They cut off my branches,

Destroyed all my order,

Yet, I'm an unwearied poet,

For I've troubles, I moan.

I take my water from below,

I turn and pour it high,

See what I suffer from,

For I've troubles, I moan.

Yunus, comes and finds no joy here,

The tree will never grow,

No one remains in this mortal world,

For I've troubles. I moan.

Hak sevdası vardır bende

Durmaz yanar bu can tende

Ah ne durursun bu fanide

Hemen soyun gir devrana

Hele hele soyun çık meydana

I have the Love for Truth

My soul burns inside this body

Oh why to be in this mortal being

Get naked now and step into devran*

Get naked and come to meydan**

Sen dervişsin bir ulu dağsın

Koy üstüne karlar yağsın

Döven de dövsün söven de sövsün

Hemen soyun gir devrana

Hele hele soyun çık meydana

You are a dervish, a high mountain

Let the snow fall on you

Let them condemn, let them swear

Get naked now and step into devran

Get naked and come to meydan

Dervişliği ister canım

Hu demeye kaynar kanım

Hu dedikçe titrer canım

Hemen soyun gir devrana

Hele hele soyun çık meydana

I long for dervishhood

and saying HU with my whole being

My soul trembles as I recite HU

Get naked now and step into devran

Get naked and come to meydan
