GREETINGS TO THE WORKING CLASS OF TURKEY!

            Greetings to the working class of Turkey!

            Greetings to those who create!
            Greetings from seed to seed,
            To those who sow and cause development!

            All nourishment comes from your branches.
            The days to come, our beautiful days, are in your hands.
            Days of justice, great days,

            Your days without exploitation
            Your nights without people going hungry,
            Days of bread, roses and freedom

            Greetings to the working class of Turkey!
            Shouting our longing to those who are in the city squares,

            Our longing for soil, the book and work,
            Our longing for our star and crescent banner.
            Greetings to our working class who will defeat the enemy!

            The pasha of money,
            The darkness of the religious fanatic
            And the foreign missiles

            Will be defeated!
            Greetings to the working class!
            Greetings to the working class of Turkey!

            Greetings to those who create!

            NAZIM HIKMET (1902-1963)
