İSTİKLÂL MARŞIMIZIN
BÜYÜK ŞÂİRİ
MEHMET ÂKİF ERSOY
1873-1936
RUHUNA FÂTİHA
İSTİKLÂL MARŞI
Kahraman Ordumuza
Korkma, sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak:
Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak.
O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak
O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak.
Çatma, kurban olayım çehreni ey nazlı hilal:
Kahraman ırkıma bir gül! Ne bu şiddet bu celal?
Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarımız sonra helâl
Hakkıdır, Hakk'a tapan milletimin istiklâl.
Mehmet Akif Ersoy.
