"Let our pillow be a tombstone, our blanket be blood, If we turn back from this path, let honor be a disgrace to us, What an honor it is for us to die for this beautiful homeland; Our hearts burn with love for our country, always within, Forward march, forward march, the Turkish soldier does not turn back." - Rıfat Bey
