Nizar Qabbaniden bir goşgy

Ýagty möhüm çyradan has,
Goşgy has möhüm depderden,
Posa möhüm dodaklardan.

Meniň saňa hatlarym
Senden, menden beýik hemem ileri.
Çünki olar adamlaryň
Seniň taýsyz gözelligiň
Hemem meniň däliligim
Görüp biljek ýalňyz ýeri.

Light is more important than the lantern

Light is more important than the lantern,
The poem more important than the notebook,
And the kiss more important than the lips.

My letters to you
Are greater and more important than both of us.
They are the only documents
Where people will discover
Your beauty
And my madness.
