Hasret söndürdün
Kalbimdir gürleyen bir ok mu almış?
Kutsal aşka düşmüş mukaddes sanmış
Bana hep yakarır olmam der köle
Bu güzel duyguyu atsam mı göle?
Uzaktan sızlanır haykırır söze
Ben istesem dahi çökemem dize
Belkide günaha düşman fazilet
Olur mu aşığa gayrısı kıymet?
Sudur, bitmez derler hiç doymayanlar
Ballı şerbet dilden çok anlayanlar
Yarasanız uçsa düşse güneşe
Devasa lav kadim yanar alevde
Dostların çoğalsın bul mutabakat
İnsafsız kalplere sığmaz kabahat
Yansın yanılgılar dünya dağlayan
Çözük düğümlere hüsran bağlayan
Miniktir gagası sarı sülünün
Yılanı haznede ölmüş gülünün
Namert ok çatlasın hicran saplayan
Aşkı mahrum edin zalim aşklardan
Yok altın yüreklim güneş asası
Evliyalar ister kalksın dünyası
Yar, yüzleş benimle hoşnutum bırak
Hasretim söndürdün durmadın uzak

YOU PUT OUT
THE FLAMES
OF MY LONGING
My heart thunders like a sharp arrow steeped in
This sacred love is destiny I thought
It begs me and says I can't be its slave
Should I drown this emotion in some deep lake?
The distance whines and screams loudly
I can't collapse even if I wanted to sing
Maybe this is the opposite of sin, a virtue
Is there anything other than this for a lover to value?
They say water never dries for those who can't get enough of it
Those who tasted sweet brews from a lover's lips and are content
Even if a bat flies away and a mountain falls into the sun
Ancient gigantic lavas flow and drop back into the flame
Friends wouldn't multiply without compromise
Does a mistake not fit into an unjust heart?
Let the delusional worlds burn down their branders
And those who bind the untied knots to disappointments
Small-billed tawny pheasant's snake is dead in the chambers of her rose
May the one who stabs someone with a cowardly arrow be shattered!
Such love should be deprived from real love
O my golden spirit, the sun has no magical staff
A hallowed saint is needed to cure this world
Hope to meet you face to face some day
Since you've pleased me immensely
But then we must let go and go away
You have extinguished my longings my dear one
Our sojourn at heart, singed the far to near - like the rising sun
