FAZIL HÜSNÜ DAGLARCA
Seçme Siirler * Selected Poems
< i >
Translated by Talat Sait Halman

Dosdoðru

     Ýki kiþi birbirini aldatýr
     Köy olur oralarý
     Uluslar yalan söyler birbirine
     Ülkelerde dolar yeryüzümüz


Telling it Right

     Two men dupe each other --
     A village rises there.
     Nations lie to each other --
     States fill our world.
