Aziz Isa Ëlkun
New Year has come, the old year has passed,
A page of life has been torn out.
I ask myself quietly-
Where has the value of life gone?
I have passed forty years …
But have not yet achieved my desire.
I live stretching out my hand towards hope-
Placing myself close to my suffering people.
Aziz Isa Elkun
Quiet and solitary under the night sky,
Swimming alone towards the limitless universe.
Seeking my soul mate amongst the stars,
The birth of hope sears my heart.
Embarrassed, I met with the moon,
The moon girl greeted me, “Salam” she said.
Had she seen my melancholy heart?
Gently smiling she said, “Shall we talk?”
