translated by Ibrahim S. Abdullatif
Ey Malikê Vê ‘Alemê
O Lord Of This World (Universe)
Ey malikê vê ‘alemê, dinya hemî milkê teye.
O Lord of this world (universe), all the Earth is your property.
Yek serî helîne ji vê xemê, lutfa te her kafîye.
(If) One raises his head (in prayer) from this worrying, your blessing is enough.
Tu her heyî dê her hebî; kes nîne tesbînî tebî.
You’re always present and will be present; there’s no one like you
Rebi, tu ẍefarê mebî hîvî li dergahê teye.
O Lord, may you be our forgiver; hope only exists at your door
Tu her heyî; em dê mirîn; dinya betal em jêk kirîn. 5
You always exist; we will die; this empty world has torn us apart.
Lazim şev u roja bigirîn; heqê me dayîm sucdeye.
We should cry night and day; it’s our duty to be bowing in prayer (to you).
Ey ‘ebid u însanîn, eman, hişyar bibin sal u zeman.
O slaves and human kind, oh, wakeup (from) year and time (of sleep).
Mirinê birîn em; kew neman; ḧeqe mirin rêka meye.
Death took us; the partridges didn’t remain; it is right that death is our path.
Rêka me her mirina bi ḧeqe; dinya betal u leq leqe.
Our path is always the rightful death, the world is empty and shaky (out of balance)
Kê baş vîa ew eḧmeqe (walahî) me ji wê tubeye? 10
Who really wanted that fool? 155 By God, we ban (ourselves) from that person.
Me ji wê bese ev saxîye ew ‘aqîbet ya fanî ye.
Enough of that, this is health, that the end is mortal.
155 Feeble-minded individual.
