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
Sussan olmuyor, susmasan olmazDil dursa hakim bey, tende can durmazYazsan olmuyor, yazmasan olmazKaleme tedbir koma, tek durmaz
I'm complaining about all the bans.Dear Lord, if you tie up my tongue, it never stops.Let the gendarme and policeman come from the office.Alas! My thoughts are refugees. They hold high jinks.Sometimes I raze myself to the groundSometimes my shah turns around the ageEven if they make laws again and againExpressions fade, writing remains in both worlds, alas!If you keep silent, no way. If your don't, no way.If the tongue stops dear Lord, heart in the body doesn't.If you write, no way. If you don't, no way.Don't take measures for writing. It never keeps still.
