1. How many landmarks in Istanbul
Landmarks that no other landmarks equal

2. Achievements of the Ottomans raised
Increasing the envy and anger of nonbelievers

3. Magnificent mosques towering high
Seen from afar like firm mountains

4. With ingenious exquisite art
As if their domes are rigid helmets

5. And whoever sees their minarets will find
They stirred nostalgia in my soul

6. They overflow in the heart enlightened guidance
Of the upright religion, fortresses within

7. When they look and please the faithful
Enduring from the construction of the eternal

8. So if they shake, they steady the eyes
Of Islam guiding the lost

9. Gleaming over the heads of the mujahideen
Spears in the chests of the nonbelievers
