BURSA

                                                           Sen Bursa’ysan,

                                                           Ben Necati’yim.

                                                           Beni sana baðlayan,

                                                           Ýçindeki sevgilim.

                                                          Ben sende doðup,

                                                          Sende büyüdüm amma;

                                                          Seni tanýmam bile…

                                                          Tarihi yapýlarýnla,

                                                          Kocaman kapýlarýnla,

                                                          Hatta kaplýcalarýnla;

                                                          Benim için ölüsün.

                                                          Ýyi bak bana Bursa,

                                                          Karýmý aldýn kursa.

                                                          Ona bir hal olursa!

                                                          Yakarým seni Bursa…

                                                           Kapalý Çarþýnla,

                                                           Yeþilinle, Set Baþýnla;

                                                           Ulu Camiin ve daðýnla,

                                                           Daha bilmem neyin varsa;

                                                           Allah’ýma yakarým!    

                                                                      Necati ÖZTURAÇ
