Gözlerinde sevda gördüm o andaEridim karşında soldum, kör oldumKara bulut gibi doldum o andaYağmur oldum, dolu oldum, kar oldumKim ne bilsin karşılıksız yar oldum
The lyrics for (subtitled "Karşılıksız Yar Oldum") by the Turkish folk music artist Mustafa Yıldızdoğan are a poignant expression of unrequited love and hidden sorrow.
Released originally on his 1999 album Mektup , the song describes a lover's internal transformation—becoming like rain, snow, and fire—while keeping their devotion a secret. Lyrics (Turkish)
The recurring refrain "Kim ne bilsin karşılıksız yar oldum" translates to "Who would know that I have become an unrequited lover," emphasizing the loneliness of a love that isn't shared or even known by others.
Sevdam gizli kaldı sazım telindeMustafa'm dökülür seher yelindeGörüşmek mümkün mü günün birinde?Hayal oldum, serap oldum, sır oldumKim ne bilsin karşılıksız yar oldum Key Themes
The lyrics use natural elements (rain, snow, fire, mirage) to illustrate how deep emotion changes a person's very essence.
Like much of Yıldızdoğan's work, the song blends traditional Anatolian folk sensibilities with modern arrangements, often performed with a saz (Turkish lute).
