Ne iklim çöküşü
Ne ekonomik bunalım
Öte yanda adam kayırmacılık,
Beri yanda edim kuyirmecilik;
Umurumuzda mı dünya?

Cımbızlı Şiir
Ne atom bombası
Ne Londra Konferansı
Bir elinde cımbız,
Bir elinde ayna;
Umurunda mı dünya!

The Mocking Mahmut — Orhan Veli Kanık
This is my task and my dealing,
I paint the sky every morning,
When all of you are sleeping.
You wake up to see that now it’s blue.
Sometimes a sea is torn,
Sutured by whom you don’t know;
Sutured by me.
And sometimes I am mocking,
That too I’m charged of doing;
I think a head at my head,
I think a gut at my gut,
I think a foot at my foot,
I don’t know the heck to do.
Gratis — Orhan Veli Kanık
Gratis do we live, gratis;
Air gratis, cloud gratis
Hill and dale gratis;
Rain and mud gratis;
Exterior of automobiles,
Doors to cinemas,
Showcases gratis;
Not cheese and bread but
Bitter water gratis;
Freedom for the price of capita,
Captivity gratis;
Gratis do we live, gratis.

Separating — Orhan Veli Kanık
I am left staring after the ship that is leaving;
I cannot throw myself into the sea, the world’s pretty;
Manliness in my head, I cannot cry.
