A Kurdish eulogy for the conquest of Istanbul!
Let Islam be born, the conquest of Istanbul became an ideal for Muslims. Conquering it was a foreign goal for the Ummah of the Messenger of Allah. In order to achieve this intended goal of Muhammad and to receive the praise of the prophet, seek the method of this goal for all early Muslims. The Umayyads besiege the city three times, the Abbasids once, but Nazim hikmet‘ in the words “Islam’s honorable day” it can never happen.
Istanbul was the most difficult city in the world to capture. In fact, according to some originalities, it was to conquer Istanbul that the Muslims who went to the Strait of Gibraltar also passed. If it is difficult to think of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus Straits, we would enter Gibraltar from behind, they would have entered the city.
from Aradan.
A 21-year-old boy was blessed by Sultan Mehmet to conquer him…

The siege lasted too long.
On a warm spring morning, when the sun is over, Byzantium has fallen!
since then “Conqueror” who will receive the title Sultan MehmetWear it on an upper back. He didn’t care about loot, gold, or treasure from three days of free loot; his only goal is to conquer the city It was to be praised by the Messenger of Allah! Now he was reliving the excitement of this moment.
Your horse, the shining sun of Byzantium Hagia SophiaHe drove towards. In his tent, which he has been using as his headquarters for two months, Hagia SophiaIt happened in traffic in a city center consisting of all stages of . With that cross there, he imagined the stance of the crescent in its place. His excitement increased even more. As a victorious Sultan, he would step inside this little temple.
Sultan Mehmet is a 21-year-old boy, but a big man. Out of respect for the temple, what is given to him about the mosque, he got off his horse from the vantage point. He turned his face towards the qibla, prostrated in the comfort of Allah and began to pray. Then lay down, you picked up a piece of earth from the ground, He sprinkled it on the head of your child, who will be born for you on your birthday, that you are also mortal by the way in the situation there.

It is a long song. He wrote a lot of poems that day, in the romana class, in a nation very stylish for the conquest of Istanbul.
The Kurds are also keeping their silence on this matter.
How did they hear, who moved to my secluded village between the mountains, but my neighborhood is in the village, It is always a “conquest of Istanbul” stran (folk song) of Çukurca’s meeting in the village.
I’m in Hakkari recently, my brother AbdulkadirI’ve had it tell .
According to the story; So far, I have not encountered a single Anatolian folk song. There are many “conquest muscles” in Turkish, but the anonymous Turkish conquest… A song like this so far to my ears.
But it’s in Kurdish!
Stran, dengbêj Abdulkadir my brother is one of the elders of the family dengbêj Cindi’learned from Cindi also his uncle Haji Abdurrahman‘from. Haji Abdurrahman was our grandfather. He was the only survivor of a male of the same age when, after turks to Iraq and Iran in 1918, he raided their return village to continue to be strong there. About Me Grandfather. Abdulkadir always smiling while my brother was away, “If I had died that day, all of these songs would have disappeared” also conveyed. Here is the conquest of Istanbul stranin Jindi He learned from him, he learned from his grandfather, and he learned from his grandfather. This means that it can be taken to the time of the conquest to be finished.
Such “strans” were called “miqerim”; These are difficult folk songs that not everyone can sing. I can’t say its maqam for someone other than music, but it is an extremely difficult piece to sing as you listen.
They call such strans “Divanki”. Not a single person. When they gather at night, groups of dengbêjs who know the sound more and more sing this stran for the sake of home. A group of dengbêj, who announced the “conquest of Istanbul” about the “conquest of Istanbul”, start to say if they know themselves.
Stranda “Sultan Mehmet Han”, “Han Avdel” He is healed by someone. “Khan Avdel” from Islamic commanders He is Abdullah bin Omar. Abdullah bin Omarsecond Islam Caliph Omar’is his son. He participated in the expedition of the Umayyads to Istanbul in 669, came to Istanbul He is one of the seven Companions who gave the most hadith narrations and the most fatwas. When he was asked to be the caliph after his father, “One martyr is enough for a house” did not accept.
The Kurds accepted Islam in the time of Hazrat Omar. Abdullah bin Omar’They hold a special reverence. They always show him as examples in bravery and justice in their narratives. The name Abdullah reaches “Avdel” and they call him “Han Avdel”. In this strand, “Conqueror Sultan Mehmet” is likened to him.

The conquest of Istanbul became an ideal for the Muslims for centuries, as the prophet of the nation said. Sultan Mehmet’s conquest of it made all Muslims happy; Turks, Arabs, Persians, Kurds and other Muslims… Every millet conveyed this joy to a species. The Kurdish folk language is also very proud of this work, and it is closely related to Mehmet the Conqueror with his faith, his horse, and the one before the Kurdish dengbêjs. This stran is still in the middle as the most perfect and solid proof that it has connected us for centuries.
