Original lyrics
Muhammed doğduğu gece
Alemler nura gark oldu,
Muhammed doğduğu gece,
Mümin, münafık fark oldu,
Muhammed doğduğu gece.
***
Gökten yere nur atıldı,
Yediler, kırklar katıldı,
Keşişin dili tutuldu,
Muhammed doğduğu gece.
***
Ağlayan çocuk avundu,
Doğuran anne sevindi,
Çok kafirler dine geldi,
Muhammed doğduğu gece.
***
Arşın nuru yere indi,
Suyu rengi nura döndü,
Hep susuzlar suya kandı,
Muhammed doğduğu gece.
***
Huri kızları geldiler,
Nurdan kundağa sardılar,
Muhammed’e yüz sürdüler,
Muhammed doğduğu gece.
***
Gökler kapısı açıldı,
Aleme rahmet saçıldı,
Hülle donları biçildi,
Muhammed doğduğu gece.
***
Yunus ey der, ey kardeşler,
Gözden akar kanlı yaşlar,
Secde kıldı dağlar, taşlar,
Muhammed doğduğu gece.

The night Muhammed (peace be upon him) was born
Enlightened the peoples of the world *1
The night Muhammed was born.
Became apparent man of faith and the faithless,
The night Muhammed was born.
***
Was bestowed on earth ,a bright light,
The sevens and the forties gathered.*
The tongues of prognosticators were tied,
The night Muhammed was born.
***
Ceased their crying the babes,
Bearing mothers were relieved.
Much infidels back to religion returned,
The night Muhammed was born.
***
Brilliance of the heavens onto the earth downed,
Auriferous all the waters turned.
The thirsty ones became with water content,
The night Muhammed was born.
***
Fairy girls art culled,
(Then they) into a lunary basket (the babe) furled,
On Muhammed their faces ferried,
The night Muhammed was born.
***
Gates of the heavens dehisced,
To all man bounties scattered,
Attires for reunion trimmed,
The night Muhammed was born.
***
Yunus declares ; Ye O brothers!
Flows out from mine eyes bloodied tears,
Prostrated (even the haughty) mountians and the hills,
That night Muhammed was born.

*1: Literally , alem would mean the universe ,but according to sufi tradition , Adam (the man) is the real alem (universe) . So literally the line here tells us '' Engulfed was the universes by the brilliance '' Me being familiar with the sufi jargon can tell you that Yunus the poet means to say ; Humanity was drowned in brilliance, they became enlightened..
*2: Congregation of holy man and angels.
