Nurullah Genc How will you know That old dreams washed ashore Remember the day I put a riddle on my collar That foreign lands found a home in my doomsday Remember the day I melt and flow like mountains How will you know That the lights that disappear on the streets of the city are my eyes The carnations that bloom in my heart every morning That turn yellow and wither in my hands every evening How will you know Who knows, maybe one day you'll come to my door Seagulls with black feathers at my tired windows You will cry with me, you will laugh with me The anguish of the lighthouses in my chest You will be buried in the sadness gushing from my life That every poet is lucky with a rose Remember the day I look at the skies, first at you That my heart grows old with its sorrow Remember the day I light my cigarette silently You cannot know that living is a sea inside me You are cheerful and lively at the farthest point of the sea I console myself with broken waves in the deep By tying mossy handkerchiefs to ships How will you know That basil roots get tired of pansy clouds Suddenly behind the falling stars How will you know that a heart waiting for reunion is burning Like thirsty lands that bow to the rain Who knows, maybe one day you'll come to my door As if hiding a secret of loyalty in your chest Like dead prisoners walking to their execution You will wipe the sorrowful tears of your eyes When a sweet scent filled the skies Remember the day I flowed, mixing with rivers When shadows saw my soul and disappeared Remember the day I struck like a blue lightning Smile and move away because you cannot understand This breaking storm In Yusuf's heart Loneliness is a dark ritual of despair In Züleyha's growing violet eyes How will you know That giants holding on to rocks Are shot and died one by one The matchless jewels that adorn dreams Fall to the ground When they see a dervish How will you know Who knows, maybe one day you'll come to my door A windy earthquake darkness in your arms You will enter silently through the doorway You will stand hand and foot in front of this shining peak of the heart And you too will bow The nightingale Remember why you were expelled from Lalezar The day I destroyed this dungeon of dreams Remember when the fish became thirsty and drowned in the water The day I emerged from the universe of pain Source Ümraniye Municipality
