Mahzuni Şerif was born in Berçenek village of Afşin, Kahramanmaraş, Turkey in 1940. The word Aşık preceding his name is a title used to indicate his position as a respected musician, but also indicates his affiliation with the Alevi variety of Shi'a Islam.

    Asking and Asking____

    Aşık Mahzuni Şerif Trk Halk Ozan k Mahzuni erif39in lmnn kanc yl

    Made my mind go foolish

    By hitting it on the stones

    I looked for my dear fellow

    By asking and asking to all

    Some light out, some go out

    Some get up, some get down

    The palaces turn into ruins

    Enduring to all

    Enter Mahzuni into the friend’s affection

    Snow fell on the mountain of friends

    My youth in my life’s period

    Is wounded all

    The Order of this Earth

    The order of this earth is not smooth

    I shall not spend it with false words

    I may not execute myself

    Because of my conscience

    The tears drop into myself

    How hard is the parch stone

    I may not see the bird in the Erciyes Mountain

    Because it’s blind-eyed

    I have no strength besides

    I planted crops but could not harvest them

    The rulers decided on the order when I’m faultless

    I cannot leave the friend, Mahzuni
