Poem of Regret for Enforcing a Coup D'Etat Against Sultan Abdülhamid II



The Tribute :

Where are you my glorious Sultan Hamid Han? Does my lamentation reach your presence? Stand up from the sleep of death for a moment Look at the sin of this ungrateful nation.

When history will remember your name It will confess you being right, oh great Sultan We were those who shamelessly slandered The most sage ruler of its time.

We said our Sultan was cruel and crazy We said he has to succumb to the revolution We said what satan told us to say We gave birth to chaos.

Not you, we were insane We have threaded a rotten yarn with reveries Not only Insane, but we were also ill-mannered We have spit onto the honour of our ancestors.

Then, a degenerated and ill-behaved -------s has sprout up and entered the arena.

From where have all these traitors come? Shame on all of them!

They have cut people into pieces They have perpetrated slaughters Those who did not honour the Sultan Prostrated themselves before The dirty hat of a rebellious officer There is no limit for those who suffer from famine For those who have sacrificed their heads Cursed should be this tyrant, Mustafa Kemal But still he is remembered with mercy Now the nation has turned into a cemetery Everyone has his share of the cursing Only few people have found peace In the morning of the devastated cities The nations interest is covered by sins

The religion is trampled under feet The soul of the Turk was forced to rebel Against his Prophet and his Lord But you, my Prophet (as) are a great intercessor Even from paradise you may send your support This nation has suffered, may it be rescued.

Forgive us, oh my Padishah Abdulhamid Han.

Young Turks can be considered a western secularist group but İttihat and Terakki (Union and Progress) Party which overthrew Abdulhamid was an Islamic nationalist party. They wanted the Empire have it's Turkish idendity again with keeping the Islamic jurisprudence. Abdulhamid cared only his Muslim idendity which was more feasible of course. If you try nationalism on an Empire, you offend the minorities.

Yes I am not sure about this incident but many Indian muslims aided us a lot in the first world war and even in our salvation war with what they had. This former Pakistan Ambasador of Turkey’s memoir is touching.

I am surprised this post still stands given that the second video contains music. It was sang by Ugur Isilak, an AKP singer and ex-MP. And the lyrics belongs to Riza Tevfik Bolukbasi a member of CUP.
