Makber
Neşe Karaböcek Lyrics

The opening lines of Neşe Karaböcek's "Makber" describe a dark and foreboding atmosphere, hinting at the possibility of being in the vicinity of a grave or burial site. The line, "Pür nur o mevki," suggests, however, that there may also be an element of light or illumination present. The following lines, "Mağrip mi yoksa/Makber mi yarab," continue to draw attention to the uncertainty of the location, as the singer questions whether it is a place of prayer (Mağrip) or a grave (Makber) she finds herself in.

The chorus highlights the power of the grave, as it transforms from a "kabrin çiçekten" (grave of flowers) into a "türbe" (tomb), indicating its significance and importance. The final lines, "Dönmüş o türbe bir hacleğaha/Mağrip mi yoksa/Makber mi yarab," add to the sense of confusion and disorientation as the tomb seems to have turned into a place of devotion or pilgrimage (hacleğah).

Overall, the song delves into themes of uncertainty and the power of death, using vivid imagery to paint a haunting picture of the grave and the Hacleğah.
