Bir tarifi var mý aþkla yanmanýn,

                                                 Ben neden þaþarým sen olmayýnca

                                                 Eriyip tükenip yanýp sönmenin

                                                 Hasretle piþerim sen olmayýnca.

                                                 Sakýnýp sözlerden hayâ ederim.

                                                 Bastýðým imzasýn nere giderim.

                                                 Darul ukbâ olsa demem kaderim

                                                 Mezarým eþerim sen olmayýnca

                                                 Yollar var aþýlmaz, yollar var viran,

                                                 Sevdandan baðrýmýz olmuþtur harran,

                                                 Acýr elbet bize dertleri veren,

                                                 Nihayet beþerim sen olmayýnca

                                                 Bakýþýn ruhumu tarumar eder,

                                                 Ýçimde bir mecnun tükenir gider.

                                                 Yasalar söylenir bilmem ki ne der

                                                 Ben fena üþürüm sen olmayýnca

                                                 ÂDEM EFÝLOÐLU
