Kerbela dolunayı
Ve ay
Unutmak tepelerinden
Yükseliyor üzerimize,
Tarihte ilerleyen adanmışları gösteriyor
Yanılmış bir göğün altında beklerken
Sebepleri bilen ve susan.
Full moon over Karbala
And above us
the moon
climbs clear of the summits of
forgetfulness
to show the faithful marching on
under their misleading sky
which does
know why –
but does not speak
out
Full moon of Karbala
And the moon
From the tops/summits of forgetfulness
Rises above us,
It shows the devotees advancing in history
While waiting under a misapprehended firmament
Which knows the reasons and does not speak
