This is the tale of hopeless and disasterous love of poet with one beauty in the court of Sultan Abdülmecid I, c1850. He suffered and was imprisoned for her sake, only for her to reach him at his death bed with only this song and lyrics witness of a tale of love denied. The poet and composer's name is Haci Aref Bey, and this is just about the most famous classical Turkish/Oriental pieces on love ever sung
