Daily Poem: Never Mind What They Say ~ Leyla Hanim
Never Mind What They Say
~ Leyla Hanim
Translated from Turkish by Talat S. Halman
Let’s get going,
Start the festivities,
Never mind what they say.
Drink wine
With your loved one,
Never mind what they say.
What do I care
If people approve or disapprove?
God bless my friends,
Never mind what they say.
Leyla, indulge in pleasure
With your lovely friend;
Enjoy yourself in this world,
Never mind what they say.
