Sussan olmuyor, susmasan olmazDil dursa hakim bey, tende can durmazYazsan olmuyor, yazmasan olmazKaleme tedbir koma, tek durmaz
Şikayetim var cümle yasaktanDillerimi hakim bey bağlasan durmazGelsin jandarma polis karakoldanFikrim firarda mapusa sığmaz eyvah
Gün olur yerle yeksan olurumGün olur şahım devri devrandaKanun üstüne kanun yapsalarSöz uçar yazı iki cihanda eyvah
t doesn't feel right when you shut up, neither does it when you don't.Even the tongue stops, your Honor, the spirit in the flesh won't.It doesn't feel right when you write, neither does it when you don't.Don't create barriers on writing; they won't stay there.
I want to file a complaint against all the bans.Even if you tie my tongue, your Honor, it won't stop.Let the gendarmerie and the policemen come from outposts.My mind is on the run; it won't fit into the jail, alas!
One day, I may be crushed.One day, my shah's time is in this world.If they legislate over and over,The paroles vanish, but the scripts are in both worlds; alas!
