Whose Child Is This

'Whose child is this'
Neither his hands nor legs remained
Child who's melted completely
Had nothing to hold up

'Whose child is this'
He was shouting in a moving way
Showing another child
Whom saved from wreckage
He doesn't know he's his brother Hasan

Achild in Palestin
Look here it is
Deep purple bottom of his eyes

Holds slingshot with one of his hand
With his other hand shows the victory sign

A mother in Palestine
Sits by the child
Making tambour frame of pain

Hey child, hey mother
I could do nothing for you
Except taking photo
Excuse me
Forgive me

Child says he could not stop

We came to burn, with it’s fire Mevlana.

We recognise your route, as ours Mevlana,

We took unwariness away, from heart Mevlana,

Our necks are much more thicker, than hair for love,

Tendency was towards to the darling, we loved Mevlana.
