Seçme bir hane
Akıl fikri terk etmiş
Biri önden
biri arkadan giderken
Var iken yanyana yaşamak
bu hanenin ne kapısı
ne de penceresi kalmış
İşte bunlara nankör kiracı denmez mi?
Hadi neyse.
Her şey ve her yer karanlık içerde
Pencerelerden akmıyor artık ışık
Dırdır bitmiş kapıda
Ah! Neydi o zevkli gürültüler daha önceleri!
Kapat kapıları!
Kapat pencereleri, kapat!
Pencerelerinden göreceğiz
çırılçıplaklığı
ve
metrukiyetini
bu karanlık ve terk edilmiş hanenin
Çekil, yok artık saadetin -
bu hanede sevinç dolu sesi
Bu binanın inşası dünyevi,
dökülecek tekrar toprağa.
Çek git! Zira ömür ile fikir
ebediyen edemez burada ikamet
Belki olur öteki tarafta
mükâfatlandırılan
bir hayatta,
muhteşem...
bitmeyen...
bir dünyada.
İyi bir nesil, kendine kazanmış olabilir...
Öyle bir saray, öyle bir saray ki - hiç mi hiç, yıkılmaz.
Ya, keşke biraz daha kalsaydılar -
şurada bizimle!
İnşallah artık ahrette!

A
CHOICE
HOUSEHOLD
This mind has abandoned its minions
Along with its ideas and opinions
One stands at the front door
The other is walking from way behind, but sore
Even though, it would be better were they to live side by side
They cannot swallow their pride!
There are no doors in this house
There are no windows either for the cat or the mouse
This mind and its contents are gone
Shouldn't we call them ungrateful tenants and yawn?
O Well!
Everything everywhere is dark inside
The light no longer flows through what the windows spied
The nagging is done and gone at the door
Ah! What were those delightful noises there before!
Close the doors withal!
Close the windows, close them all!
Else, we'll see the nakedness of its eviction
And its lonesome dereliction
All in this dark and abandoned house of contradiction
Go away, your happiness is no more advent
The sound of joy in this household is now silent
The construction of this building is not... immortal
It will fall to the ground again since it is... temporal
Get out! Because life and thought
Cannot reside here forever, for they won't squat
Maybe it will happen on the other side when it is afforded
In a life that is wonderful...unending... as it is awarded
But in another better world, once it is rewarded!
A good generation may have won for itself...what it enjoyed
Such a palace of life that can never be destroyed
Oh, only if our loved ones had stayed here
Just a little longer with us near
Hopefully and maybe, we'll meet them again
For good this time, but that, only the afterlife can explain!
