Sonbahar
Kısmetin ters düşünce
İnsanın gözlerinde
Kovulmuş haline vah
Deyip ağlarsın sende
Dinlemez sağır gökler
Lale kokmaz bahçeler
Tepeden küfredersin
Duymaz seni kimseler
Mutlu olmak istersin
Sağa sola dönersin
Sağın solun umutlu
Sen sade dilek yersin
Eski zevkler nerdeler?
Vah bu küçümsemeler
Sanat ve olanağın
Boşver deyip vazgeçer
Tam o zaman bir düşün
Kimdir o iç cümbüşün?
Şafakta tarlakuşu
Sevgiye yükselişin
Somurtsun hele dünya
İlahi oku orda
Çal cennetin kapısın
Bir sevgili bulunca
Hatırla ilk aşkını
Tazele sonbaharı
Bol bol gel taşıyıver
Sana ikram bu dalı

AUTUMN
When bad luck comes to strike
A sign in everyone's eyes alike
You'll say: Woe on to your expelled state of being!
And cry with a panicked face fleeing
The deaf skies won't listen to your blue lips
And the gardens won't let you smell their tulips
You'll curse everything from way above
No one will hear you, you mourning dove!
You'll want to be happy like a New York Chappy
But, you'll turn left and right like a white crappie
Your right and your left might offer hope and food
But, you'll have to consume the stew in a bad mood
Where are those old pleasures and sentiments?
Wow! What a pity! To endure such belittlements!
Your art, trade, and future possibility
Will ask you to 'forget it, give it up; its futility!'
Think about it then, just like a pensioner
Where is that inner you, the happy reveler?
The one who, like a skylark at dawn whereof
Rose up and flew into the skies for love
Let the world be sullen and bare
If it helps, chant some holy verses there
Why not? Knock on the heaven's door
When you find a lover that you adore
Do you remember your first love?
Refresh your autumn like a lonesome dove
Come and carry it all in abundance
Hope offers a branch, even if - in redundance
