Tacettin Fidan

İstirahatname

Ebedi ve yıldızlı ay ışığında gökler

Duyarım mezarımda candan dua etseler

Pek hoş idi hayatım şendi son nefesimde

Maksadım ve dileğim bulut oldu irade

Mezar taşıma konsun işbu ayet isterim:

“Çek ruhuma Fatiha: Burdayım naci burda!

Hasretli ve sevdalı en son yolculuğumda;

Mutlu sessiz gezerim, bak tepeden eserim.”

A DEED FOR QUIESCENCE

Eternal and starry moonlit skies

I can hear sincere prayers by my grave in the clouds

My life was very pleasant, my last breath was joyful

My purpose and my wish became a cloud, my will blissful

I would like this verse placed on my gravestone:

“Gift a prayer to my soul, have Mercy, let it be known:

I'm here traveler, I am here on my own!

On my last long and loving journey.

I now walk around grateful albeit silently,

feel me in the wind blowing from above, gently."
