Lyrics
Medine'ye giden kervan, yolcuların dolu kervan. Resulullah'a selam söyle, aşık götüren kervan. Resulullah'a selam söyle, hasret bitiren kervan. Kervan kervan, nurdu kervan, develeri güzel kervan. Alında götürün beni, Resulullah'a giden kervan. Kervan kervan, nurdu kervan, develeri yüklü kervan. Alında götürün beni, Resulullah'a giden kervan. Resulullah'a kurban olan, ayağına turab olan. Bastığın yerlerde senin, bir zerrecik tozun olan. Bastığın yerlerde senin, bir zerrecik tozun olan. Kervan kervan, güzel kervan, develeri yüklü kervan. Alında götürün beni, Resulullah'a giden kervan. Kervan kervan, güzel kervan, develeri yüklü kervan. Alında götürün beni, Muhammed'e giden kervan.
