Wake up my eyes from Heedlessness(Turkish)

It is said that Sultan Murat III or IV wrote this poem/song after one day experiencing extreme grief for waking late for the Morning Prayer (fajr namaz). Uyan ey gözlerim gafletten uyan
Awake, mine eyes, from heedlessness!
Uyan uykusu çok gözlerim uyan
From your drowsiness, awake!
Azrailin kasdı canadır inan
Know that the Angel of Death seeks your soul
Seherde uyanırlar cumle kuslar
At sunrise the birds waken with a tumult
Dillü dillerince tesbihe başlar
Touching the heart with their tongues, they begin to pray
Tevhid eyler dağlar taşlar ağaçlar
Mountains, stones, trees—all proclaim the Oneness of God.
