kılınç arslan the ruler of Alanya
lost his crown and throne
exiled from his country
on him the conqueror’s broken jewelry
komotoni granted as a livelihood
though he lost his country
in the land of finesse
still claiming the master with his hands
running to Egypt from his livelihood banner
repaired the jewel and sent it to the Sultan
in the hand of landless ruler
ancient mastery standard
never fell down to the ground
Translated by Mesut Senol
