Pireli Şiir

Hey dost
Bu ne acaip bilmece
Ne gündüz biter ne gece
Kime söyleriz derdimizi
Ne hekim anlar ne hoca
Ne hekim dost anlar ne hoca

Yâr yâr
Kimi işinde gücünde
Kiminin donu yok kıçında
Ağız var kulak var burun var
Ama hepsi başka biçimde
Hepsi başka biçimde dost biçimde

Hey dost
Kimi peygambere inanır
Kimi saat köstek donanır
Kimi katip olmuş yazı yazar
Kimi sokaklarda dilenir
Kimi sokaklarda dost dilenir

Karışık bir iş vesselam
Deli dolu yazar kalem
Yazdığı da ne
İpe sapa gelmez kelam

Pireli Poem

Hey, friend
What a strange riddle this is
Neither day ends nor night
To whom shall we tell our troubles?
Neither the doctor understands nor the cleric
Neither the doctor friend understands nor the cleric

Darling, darling
Some are busy with their work
Some have no trousers on their behinds
Mouth there is, ear there is, nose there is
But all in different ways
All in different ways, friend-like ways

Hey, friend
Some believe in the prophet
Some wear a watch as a shackle
Some have become scribes and write
Some beg on the streets
Some beg on the streets, friend-like beggars

A mixed-up affair, indeed
The pen writes wildly
What does it write?
Words that make no sense
