Ali ihsan Konuklu Poems

Bir masalın olsun
Sen güzel sultanı bir yerin
Düş bırakmaz belki gülüşünü
Taşır bir anka kuşu kanadıyla
...

Yes, we've ripened at last
Who knows under how many bitter suns
And in the sharp labyrinths of life
Are we now just waiting to fall from our branch?
...

Sleep is gone,
the mind on a swing;
sometimes it comes to you, my love,
sometimes to memories left in the past...
...

Evening falls,
a sorrow as deep as the ringing of a doorbell;
when you ask, 'Who is it? ',
it's those who can never say, 'It's me, '
...
