They melted my soul and froze it in a mould;
And placed it on the ground as Istanbul.
It is something that I yearn for in me; air, color, manner, clime;
Is my darling went beyond time and space.
Its flower is golden star, its water is flaming;
The Sun and The Moon are from Istanbul since time immemorial.
Sea and earth came together only in it,
And, dreams took a form in it, in it.
