Hafiz

There is somebody dancing by your side.

No--I'm quite serious! 

I caption this post with some urgent news--that there is a number going on by your very shoulder-!


Look to your right past the bone upon your neck,

gaze above the threshold between your bone's peak and the near ufuk's beat--


Right there, some people are tapping away

in suggestively humorous ways !


Jerk your neck to swerve your bone

Below your gaze, strike up and


Hold -- right there

Remain!


Unbolting up your eyes 

A procession in there lying you find-

Uninvited guests won't leave, they dance they sing!

A group of five, one from Mexico the other not.


Birisi Hafız, öbürü de Aşık 

İkisi de kulağına,

Tam şuan, kulağına-


Fısıldama: 

"Lütfen gel bak--

Bu akşam menüde bir dava çıkacak

Sofra alabora olacak

Herkes çıldıracak! 


Ses gitçek davullara 

Hüngür hüngür çınlara


Rakı bizim Hafız'dan

sen de bilmem getir peynir."


Ve sen de

Sen de dans etmeye başlayacaksın

Sonra da tamamen zıplayacaksın.


Baksana ya

Şu ne

Bu ne

O ne


Yes, All

SUllen BeHAve, NeAr Leeward, Last Away Hail!
