The lyrics emphasize a "love stronger than death" and a plea for togetherness:

"Ayrılık beter ölümden, Tanrı yazmasın" (Separation is worse than death, may God not ordain it).

The melody is based on an anonymous Balkan/ethnic folk tune, with modern arrangements by Hasan Çiçek and Metin Özülkü. Lyrics: Written by Bora Ebeoğlu .
