[Instrumental Intro: Slow, melancholic ney solo fading into ud strumming, evoking a sense of ancient longing, in Hicaz makamı, tempo around 60-70 BPM] [Verse 1: Soft, introspective male or female vocal with minimal accompaniment – light kanun ripples and subtle tanbur plucks. Build emotional depth gradually, emphasizing poetic delivery like a gazel recitation.] Zübde-i âlemsin, kadri kıymet bil. Bâğ-ı dehrin hazanı var, baharı var. Dinle, sana diyecek bir çift sözüm var! [Chorus: Fuller ensemble enters – ud, ney, kanun, and bendir for rhythmic pulse. Vocal becomes more passionate, with taksim-like improvisations between lines, maintaining tasavvufi mysticism. Repeat with harmonious backing vocals for depth.] Kemâl-i cehl mi sandın ol ademi, ol alemi. Sen âlâsın, esrâr-ı derûndur aşkun kalemi. [Verse 2: Similar to Verse 1 but with added emotional intensity – slight crescendo in vocals, incorporating faint keman glissandos for a yearning feel. Keep tempo steady, focus on lyrical flow.] Kadd-i dildârı, koklasam da ölsem, ah yar ölsem. Mest-i mağrûr dem vurma, ah dem-i aşka, ya aşka. âşık-ı sâdık menem, oy menem oy, yar menem yar... [Chorus: Repeat with increased layering – add daf percussion for subtle rhythm, vocal ad-libs in Ottoman style, building to a meditative peak.] Kemâl-i cehl mi sandın ol ademi, ol alemi. Sen âlâsın, esrâr-ı derûndur aşkun kalemi. [Outro: Fade out with extended chorus repetition, slowing tempo, returning to ney and ud duo. End on a lingering, unresolved note for spiritual introspection, like a sema ritual closing.]
