I
bir gün ölürseniz, gökyüzümde
o an ani bir taş ateşi çizilir,
burada, bir şehirden ötekine,
ağır aksak ilerleyen kervanda
katlayı p kaldırdığım çadır,
sır olan herkesin vahada
günden geceye çatılan bilmece
içinde koruduğu bekleyiş,
boşuna bu damlanın peşi sıra
gelmeyecek kaynağından su sesi
-kimsenin duymadığı lir.
...

I
If one day you should die,
that very instant on my sky
would be etched a meteor of flame,
here, in the caravan creaking from town to town,
is the tent I folded and put away,
the anticipation I kept
in a riddle pitched from day to night
at each precise oasis secretly left behind,
the water’s song will not vainly trail
this drop from the spring
—unheard lyre.
