	<br>ey batıtrakya’lı asil türk çocuğu ne mutlu sana;
	<br>sen hayat verdin kanınla milli kurtuluş savaşına;
	<br>yüce kahramanlığın naksedildi cihanın her yanına;
	<br>selam duruyor milletler senin şu milli bayrağına.

	<br>bastığın şu yerler senin şanlı şehitlerinde dolu;
	<br>düşmanlar taciz edemez yüce kahramanların ruhunu;

	<br>şanlı şehitlerin sarılmış kurtuluş bayrağına;
	<br>bu ne ulvi şereftir gömülmek ecdad toprağına;
	<br>yurtta hürriyetin, istiklalin rüzgarı esiyor;

	<br>kahraman mücahitler şu pis esareti deviriyor;

	<br>bu şanlı milli istiklal savaşından asla dönülmez!
	<br>karşımıza çelik ordular da çıksa, bizi ürkütemez!

	<br>biz; milli istiklal için meriç’i,karasu’yu aştık;
	<br>bütün müstevlileri ezerek,yenerek hedefe ulaştık;
	<br>balkan’larda şanlı bir cumhuriyet çığırını açtık;
	<br>ilk defa hürriyet mes’alesini biz yaktık;

	<br>bu bayrak dalgalanacak, cumhuriyet yaşayacak!
	<br>karşımızdaki düşmanlar bizden ürküp kaçacak!

	<br>binlerce yıl hür yaşayan bir milletin torunlarıyız;
	<br>su steplerin kurd’u, arslan’ı göklerin kartalıyız;
	<br>mücahitlerin hamlesi her zaman fırtınalar andırır;
	<br>savaşta heybetimiz dehşetinden düşmanlar bayılır;

	<br>batı trakya cumhuriyeti yaşayacak,yaşayacak!
	<br>terakkimizin karşısında milletler şaşıracak!

	<br>ey şirin batı trakya!... işte nihayet esaretten kurtuldun
	<br>ey düşmanlar!... sanmayın savaşlardan bu millet yorgun;
	<br>cumhuriyetin yüce bayrağı her an bu yurtta dalgalanacak;
	<br>şu bütün batı trakyalılar kıyamete kadar hür yaşayacak!''
