„Если море двумя ударами опрокидывает тех, кто, не понимая его языка, вознамерился одолеть его волны с трусливым сердцем в груди, то кто в этом виноват – море? Или те, кто его не понимают?“

„Чаек вскармливает бесконечность. Самая яркая, самая прекрасная отличительная особенность их, да и других морских птиц именно в этом. Они на море умирают. Как море они беспощадны, как море, свободны. Они преданы морю. Так может быть предан лишь человек своей отчизне.“

„Because of you, each day is a melon slice
smelling sweetly of earth
Because of you, all fruits reach out to me
as if I were the sun.
Thanks to you, I live on the honey of hope.
You are the reason my heart beats.
Because of you, even my loneliest nights
smile like an Anatolian kilim on your wall.
Should my journey end before I reach my city,
I've rested in a rose garden thanks to you.
Because of you I don't let death enter,
clothed in the softest garments,
and knocking on my door with songs
calling me to the greatest place.“
— Nâzım Hikmet
From Because of You (29 August 1960)
„At eighteen you sleep without memories.“
— Nâzım Hikmet
From Human Landscapes from My Country, Book Two, Section VII
„You are free to be arrested, imprisoned“
— Nâzım Hikmet
Context: You waste the attention of your eyes,
the glittering labour of your hands,
and knead the dough enough for dozens of loaves
of which you'll taste not a morsel;
you are free to slave for others—
you are free to make the rich richer.
The moment you're born
they plant around you
mills that grind lies
lies to last you a lifetime.
You keep thinking in your great freedom
a finger on your temple
free to have a free conscience.
Your head bent as if half-cut from the nape,
your arms long, hanging,
your saunter about in your great freedom:
you're free
with the freedom of being unemployed.
You love your country
as the nearest, most precious thing to you.
But one day, for example,
they may endorse it over to America,
and you, too, with your great freedom—
you have the freedom to become an air-base.
You may proclaim that one must live
not as a tool, a number or a link
but as a human being—
then at once they handcuff your wrists.
You are free to be arrested, imprisoned
and even hanged.
There's neither an iron, wooden
nor a tulle curtain
in your life;
there's no need to choose freedom:
you are free.
But this kind of freedom
is a sad affair under the stars.

From A Sad State Of Freedom
„Looking at this insolent earth,
you hear the first battle cry of our species-
trap it under a rock
and together, screaming, attack
and destroy it, as if killing a mammoth.“
— Nâzım Hikmet
From Human Landscapes from My Country, Book Two, Section VII
„Welcome baby,
It's your turn to live,
They lie in wait for you, chicken pox, whooping cough, smallpox,
Malaria, TB, heart disease, cancer, and so on.
Unemployment, hunger, and so on.
Train wrecks, bus accidents, plane crashes, work accidents,
Earthquakes, floods, droughts, and so on.
Heartbreak, alcoholism, and so on.
Nightsticks, prison doors, and so on.
They lie in wait for you, the atom bomb, and so on.
Welcome baby,
It's your turn to live.
They lie in wait for you, socialism, communism, and so on.“
— Nâzım Hikmet

From A Spring Piece Left In The Middle
„I've never regretted I was born too soon.
I'm proud to be
a child of the twentieth century.
I'm satisfied
to join its ranks
on our side
and fight for a new world…“
— Nâzım Hikmet
From On the Twentieth Century (12 November 1941)
„My country or the stars
Or my youth, what's farthest?“
— Nâzım Hikmet
From In the Snowy Night Woods (10 March 1956)
„Today is Sunday.
For the first time they took me out into the sun today.
And for the first time in my life I was aghast
that the sky is so far away
and so blue
and so vast
I stood there without a motion.
Then I sat on the ground with respectful devotion
leaning against the white wall.
Who cares about the waves with which I yearn to roll
Or about strife or freedom or my wife right now.
The soil, the sun and me…
I feel joyful and how.“
— Nâzım Hikmet
From Today is Sunday
„Loneliness feels like prison.“
— Nâzım Hikmet
From New Year's Eve (23 March 1956)
„The strangest of our powers
Is the courage to live
Knowing that we will die,
Knowing nothing more true.“
— Nâzım Hikmet
