Hasret-1 [English translation]

One hundred years have passed without seeing your face

link your waist

dwell in your eyes

ask your clairvoyance

approach the warmth of your belly.

A hundred years ago in a city

a woman waiting for me.

We were on the same branch, in the same branch.

We fell in the same branch, we parted.

One hundred years have passed

one hundred years of road.

A hundred years ago in the dark

I run behind her.
