3 İSTİKLÂL MARŞI Korkma, sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak; Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak. O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak; O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak. Bastığın yerleri toprak! diyerek geçme, tanı: Düşün altındaki binlerce kefensiz yatanı. Sen şehit oğlusun, incitme, yazıktır, atanı: Verme, dünyaları alsan da, bu cennet vatanı. Çatma, kurban olayım, çehreni ey nazlı hilâl! Kahraman ırkıma bir gül! Ne bu şiddet, bu celâl? Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarımız sonra helâl... Hakkıdır, Hakk a tapan, milletimin istiklâl! Kim bu cennet vatanın uğruna olmaz ki fedâ? Şühedâ fışkıracak toprağı sıksan, şühedâ! Cânı, cânânı, bütün varımı alsın da Huda, Etmesin tek vatanımdan beni dünyada cüdâ. Ben ezelden beridir hür yaşadım, hür yaşarım. Hangi çılgın bana zincir vuracakmış? Şaşarım! Kükremiş sel gibiyim, bendimi çiğner, aşarım. Yırtarım dağları, enginlere sığmam, taşarım. Ruhumun senden, İlâhi, şudur ancak emeli: Değmesin mabedimin göğsüne nâmahrem eli. Bu ezanlar-ki şahadetleri dinin temeli- Ebedî yurdumun üstünde benim inlemeli. Garbın âfâkını sarmışsa çelik zırhlı duvar, Benim iman dolu göğsüm gibi serhaddim var. Ulusun, korkma! Nasıl böyle bir imanı boğar, Medeniyet! dediğin tek dişi kalmış canavar? O zaman vecd ile bin secde eder-varsa-taşım, Her cerîhamdan, İlâhi, boşanıp kanlı yaşım, Fışkırır ruh-ı mücerred gibi yerden na şım; O zaman yükselerek arşa değer belki başım. Arkadaş! Yurduma alçakları uğratma, sakın. Siper et gövdeni, dursun bu hayâsızca akın. Doğacaktır sana va dettiği günler Hakk ın... Kim bilir, belki yarın, belki yarından da yakın. Dalgalan sen de şafaklar gibi ey şanlı hilâl! Olsun artık dökülen kanlarımın hepsi helâl. Ebediyen sana yok, ırkıma yok izmihlâl: Hakkıdır, hür yaşamış, bayrağımın hürriyet; Hakkıdır, Hakk a tapan, milletimin istiklâl! Mehmet Âkif ERSOY III

Culture and religion cannot influence it Atatürk expressed that Turkey depends very much on the technologic and economic development. So this principle appears in the situations of arranging the country s general economic actions and entering the private sector for the national benefits.

The pendant was very important to mother because she was planning to sell it to a local antique shop to send Arielle to university very soon. Mother didn t have enough money for Arielle s school fee.

45 UNIT 10 READING FOR ENTERTAINMENT A MODERN SHORT STORY 1. Read the story and answer the questions about the parts of the story. Once upon a time there was a precious sword. Now, this sword belonged to a great king, and for as long as anyone could remember, the king spent all his time in his palace and enjoyed his show and parties. One day, a great dispute broke up betweeen this king and the king of a neighbouring country. So, both countries declared war. The sword was very excited because it was going to take part in his fi rst real battle. It would show his bravery and speciality to everyone and become famous throughout the kingdom. It imagined itself as the winner of many battles. However, when the king and the sword arrived, the soldiers were in the middle of the fi rst battle. The sword saw broken weapons and wounded people all around. There was hardly any food and water left. The sword said : I have never imagined to see such a scene. At this, the sword understood that it didn t like wars or battles. It decided it preferred to live in peace. It could only take part in competitions. So, on the night before the big fi nal, the sword tried to fi nd a way to prevent the battle. After a while, it started to vibrate. First, it gave out a low buzz, then louder and fi nally it became an annoying metallic noise. The swords and armour of the other soldiers asked: What are you doing? The sword answered: I don t want to take part in the battle tomorrow. I don t like war. One answered: No one likes it, but what can we do? Make yourself vibrate, just like I m doing. said the king s sword. If we make enough noise, no one will sleep. So, the weapons started vibrating, and the noise became terrible. It was so loud that it reached the enemy camp. The weapons there joined the protest, too. No one could sleep that night and the next morning they were not ready to fi ght. During the day and in the evening they were sleepy and they decided to have the battle the next day. However, weapons spent the night repeating their peace song and again no soldier could rest. The following nights were the same. After seven days, the kings of the two armies met. They talked about their sleepless nights. They looked at their soldiers faces and soon they were laughing, like friends, at that amusing situation. Fortunately, they forgot about their old problems and they put an end to the war. Each decided not to fi ght and returned to their countries happily. And from then on, they came together to talk about their experiences as kings. 37
