Bahadin Robar – In My Dream
The other night, in my dream, I set up camp on the banks of the Tigris River,
and in the ruins of Kela Finik, I imagined the sound of your flow.
The castle was ruined and the dream was even more ruined.
I was looking for “oh water and water”, silently and longing for you, and gradually my sorrow and dream were swallowed up.
The “spectacular tiger’s gaze” in the heart’s cup
had become a river of love and were making my heart sad.
The other night, in my dream, Beko was naked,
and she was pouring out the words of guilt and repentance,
And I was drinking the coffee of war and love from Edül’s hand.
Ferihaya Circassian was my heart’s delight
and Lake Van was boiling in the glass of my heart.
The other night I was saving Leyla from the gallows,
And I was leaving all the ropes of the gallows and the burning fires in the
Khebur, and I was wandering with the wind of love
The other night all the loves and lovers were guests of my dream by the
well of Zamzam,
Because the other night the water of Zamzam flowed from the hearts of lovers
And the sorrow of my dreamer was carried away by it..
