Mysterious loveliness!
Buddhist statues
Covered in fallen leaves.

how lovely -
the stone Buddhas coverd
by fallen leaves

Discussion of this haiku

..... .....


divine mystery
in these autumn leaves that fall
on stony buddhas

Tanrısal gizem;
bu güz düşen yapraklar
taş Buda’lara.

***

As the festival dancing dies,
the sound of the wind in the pine trees
and the insects’ voices.

Şenlik bitince,
çamlarda rüzgâr sesi, ve
böcek sesleri.

***

the sky clears
and the moon and the snow
are one color.

Hava açılır,
ay, ve kar
aynı renkteler

Çeviri: Turgay Uçeren

盆踊りあとは松風　虫の声
bonodori ato wa matsukaze mushi no koe

After the dancing,
The wind in the pine trees,
The voices of insects.
