All about Magtymguly Pyragy

The Nightingale

I'm a nightingale. Here's my sad song
From garden of roses. Now I've begun.
See the tears in my eyes? There they belong.
What pleasure in life when loving is done?

Kohl becomes my lover's eyes1
Darker than the evening skies1
Lips as sweet as butterflies,
Warm the jungles of her hair.

Alas, my soul in frailty
Takes comfort in her cruelty -
Even her eyebrows chasten me!
So how endure that maiden's stare?

And yet in grieving I rejoice -
Her raven hair allows no choice.
My songbird of the tuneful voice
Makes madrigals of parting fair.

Why does my heart neglect its duties?
Because she is the Khan of beauties
And as my orchard where the fruit is
Perfumes gardens everywhere.

She lives where towers with sunrise flame.
Her promise was - but mine's the blame....
Mengli's the music that's her name -
Yet there's an end to our affair.

I'm a nightingale. This is my song
For her I love, who dwells among
Bowers where I may no more belong.
Now Makhtumkuli's heart1s laid bare.



The Pains Of Love

Love caught fire within my heart, and burned and blazed.
Smoke whirling in the wind whipped me like something crazed
Fate caught me3 spinning me upon its wheel.
Who came to see me through the eyes of real desire?
Separation was a storm - both flood and fire.

Swept on1 I gained the shores of love, shipwrecked - so null
Real and unreal were hurricanes within my skull.
I fell exhausted, lost in wonderment.
When love unsheathed its dagger, yes, I caught its blade!
Love stripped me naked, left me stranded without shade.

My body held no strength, my corpse no uttering soul
I staggered round, confused and far from whole,
Not weary or alert, alive or dead.
A cloud of sorrow sank to hide my sacrifice
As destiny's key turned and locked me in its vice.

I had to fight to make griefs spectre disappear:
But Love instructed me and made the problem clear
Love sorrowed and assisted me to heal.
When beauty bloomed, it brought spring joys of a fresh start.
I have to say all this, dear friends ! It broke my heart.

0, hopeful slave to the beloved's charms, whereby
I lost my heart! A songbird of sweet tongues was I -
Encaged ! But separation scorched my soul.
Then yearning burned me up, to ash was turned my mind.
And Makhtumkuli's life was tossed upon the wind.

Mehmut qeshqeri wasn't poet. He was linguistist.

Yusuf has Hajib was more philosopher than a poet, IMO.

Definately Alishir Nawayi. He saved Turkic poetry. He surpassed any of the Persian poets of his age.

Lutpi should also be mentioned, IIRC, Abdurahman Jami (famous Persian poet) once said he was willing to give up all of his poems for Lutpi's two line of poem.

Gok_Toruk do you have any English translations of his great poems? could you post them if you have, or if you've translated them yourself.

Mamikon, your correct, Koroglu poems exist in nearly all Turkic communities but he seems to be more of a folk hero with works attributed to him.

I'll replace him with another poet.

Mamikon here is an Armenian poet MECNUNI of the Ottoman era who wrote, "Halk" and "Divan" literature, to do so you had to be very well educated and imaginative.

Here is a poem by him

Bana aşkın peymnesin iirdin

Bana aşkın peymnesin iirdin
Şimdi ben olmuşum mestin rzigr
Kimini şd edp konup grdn
Bana mı muhalif estin rzigr

Blbl gibi cda kıldın glmden
Yd eyledin vatanımdan ilimden
eşm-i mestanımı aldın elimden
Beni ldrmek mi kasdın rzigr

Ne yaman bend ettin beni sevdaya
mrmn hsılın verdin hebaya
Hışm eyleyip beni saldın ferdaya
Bana mı erişti destin rzigr

Mecnun'yim terk-i diyar eyledim
Eşimden dostumdan firar eyledim
Şimdi yd elleri karar eyledim
Sılamdan kısmetim kestin rzigr


Karşıdan salınma dilber

Karşıdan salınma dilber
Sana kurban olayım mı
İsmin okur gnl ezber
Sevdi canım leyim mi

Bu şıkın mihnet ile
Geti mr zahmet ile
Hey insafsız hasret ile
Şyle mahrum kalayım mı

Sevdiğim beni yd ettin
Gayrısına gnl kattın
Kulunu yabana attın
Seni Hakk'a salayım mı

Mecnun dşt bu derde
Sevdası yanıyor serde
Tenhaca bulduğum yerde
Bir şeftali alayım mı

(Could somebody translate these, I'll have a go later)


What are the suggestions for replacing Koroglu with? lets hear them.

I was thinking "Bak'i" or "Mehmet Akif Ersoy"

Koroglu wasn't a poet, but a legendary character or a legend story I believe.
