The Gazel of Chubuklu

Çubuklu Gazeli

Âheste çek kürekleri mehtâb* uyanmasin*
Bir âlem-i hayâle dalan âb uyanmasin

Âgûs-i nevbahârda hâbîdedir cihan
Sürsün sabâh-i hasre kadar hâb uyanmasin

Dursun bu musikî-yi semâvî içinde sâz
Leylî-i tarabda bir dahi mizrab uyanmasin

Ey gül sükûta varmagi emreyle bülbüle
Gülsende mestî-i zevk olan ahbâb uyanmasin

Degmez Kemâl uyanmaga ikmâl-i ömr içün
Varsin bu uykudan dil-i bîtâb uyanmasin

YAHYA KEMAL BEYATLI

• The letters which are in italics are the rhymes of the poem.They are different from the underlined words in that they represent the similar sounds which function differently.

• The same words which are repeated at the end of every couplet (uyanmasin), should not be considered as rhymes for they are identical both in meaning and function.
