Beni hor görme kardeşim
Sen altınsın ben tunç muyum
Aynı vardan var olmuşuz
Sen gümüşsün ben saç mıyım

Ne var ise sende bende
Aynı varlık her bedende
Yarın mezara girende
Sen toksun da ben aç mıyım

Kimi molla kimi derviş
Allah bize neler vermiş
Kimi arı çiçek dermiş
Sen balsın da ben cec mıyım

Topraktandır cümle beden
Nefsini öldür ölmeden




Böyle emretmiş yaradan
Sen kalemsin ben uç muyum

Overall Meaning

The song "Beni Hor Görme Gardaşım" by Zerrin Özer has a reflective and philosophical tone to it, as it explores the differences and similarities between two individuals. The first two lines of the song set the tone, with the singer asking the listener to not despise or look down upon them just because they may be different in terms of material wealth or status. They ask their brother not to see them as inferior just because they may be made of copper instead of gold, for it is in fact their similarity in having the same essence that unites them.


The following lines express the idea of equality between every human being, regardless of their status in society. The singer says that they both have the same essence and belong to the same existence, and that they will both end up in the same place in death, regardless of their material possessions. The singer then highlights the diversity of beliefs and perspectives that exist in the world - some people may be religious leaders while others are followers, and everyone has a different understanding of the world around them. They mention that some may see the world as sweet as honey, while others may be bitter like vinegar.


Finally, the song concludes with the notion that all bodies are made of earth and will return to it, a common theme in many philosophical and spiritual traditions. The singer urges their brother to detach from worldly desires and pursuits, and to focus on the essence of their being. The reference to the pen and flight at the end suggest a spiritual transcendence, where one can rise above their earthly existence and experience a greater truth.
