Translation of an Ottoman Ghazel by Neil Patrick Doherty:
Bebek is a district of Istanbul. Pictured above.
Gazel of Bebek
Other than wine what consolation is left
to the soul,
other than three moonlit nights of the
Bosphorus moon?
No share of the world’s rich legacy ever
fell to us,
other than our reflection on the waters
of Bebek Bay.
We have no goods or chattels to offer
the world
other than five or ten gazels from this
shattered heart.
Towards infinite silence we prefer to
reach,
other than drawn-out dolour, what is
this life?
From fate we expect not a morsel of
serenity Kemal,
other than sleep in the realm of the
ever-stilled…..
Yahya Kemal (Beyatlı)....(trans...Neil Patrick Doherty)
