POETRY
TEACHER!
βPOEM by Yahya AzeroΔlu
(Translated from Turkish)
This world is on its way,
Nur is written in your minds;
On the branches of the saplings we plant,
You are not a shell, you are the real essence, teacher!
If you take ownership of everything national,
I always admire that upright stance,
On the white page of my national history,
You are the word written in gold, teacher!
The owner of intelligence and foresight,
You are the winner of every race,
Like Mustafa Kemal ATATΓRK,
You are the eye that sees the future, teacher!
I wrote life to read,
To weave like lace,
To warm up in the furnace of knowledge,
You are the ember that ignites and burns, teacher!
AzeroΔlu, even if your rose fades in the vineyard,
Even if you have a thousand troubles in your heart,
Even if your salaries are just an ear to the camel,
You are the face that smiles at life, teacher!
