Said about my country

​

My land, my land, my country,

I lost the cap your women made,
and my shoes that bore your roads;

your last shirt is already frayed.
Its cloth had come from Şile.
You live on only in my white hair,
in the lines of my face,

and in my necrotic heart,

my land, my home, my country.
