YABANCI SEVGİLİ
Elinde çocuk gibi oynadı gençliğimle
Nasıl sevdalandım ben o insafsız kimseye?
Dünyalar altüst oldu işi anladığımda
Hüzün baştan aşağı kapladı beni, sorma
Saadetim yok oldu, küskündüm, kimsesizdim
Kalbim ateşlerdeydi, ümitsizdim, toy idim
Yalancı bir sevgili cani dar bir kimsedir
Sevdalıya ihanet gizi yaban sevgidir
Tam elli sene geçti buru hâlâ sızlıyor
“Sen emin ellerdeydin, n’oldu?” diye soruyor
Aşıktım Mürüvvet’e, gözde, uzun bir zaman
Kalbimi kırıverdi talihsiz çekinmeden
Onarılmaz bir yara bırakıp gidiverdi
Hala taze acıyor: "Neden intihar etti?"

MY LOVER: A STRANGER
Old love rocked me up and down, like a babe in a cradle
How I fell for such a cheat, so blatant so disgraceful?
My world went topsy-turvy, when I knew all about it
Grief, drenched me top to bottom, I am to blame I admit
Zest for life drained out of me, I was real sore and forlorn
On fire, my heart was ablaze, I was a hopeless child scorned
A lying two-faced lover is a brutal flawed being
Betrayal from a lover is no less than chi fleeing
Some fifty odd years have passed, but the pain is still tender
I thought I was in good hands and in dreamlands of splendor
I was in love with pure Joy, eye to eye, chaste, a long while
She broke my heart at daybreak, that hapless belle with her guile
She left a deep wound in me that can never be mended
Always aching, asking, did - 'suicide her pains ended?'
