He closed his eyes and let out a long, trembling sigh. "Ax gidî loy loy... Bêkes kalmışam dünyada..." (Oh, woe is me... I am left without anyone in this world).
Refusing to let bitterness harden his heart, Şiyar became a wanderer. If friendship could not be found in the valley of his birth, surely it existed somewhere beyond the mountains. He packed his instrument and walked.
The sun was bleeding into the jagged peaks of the mountains, casting long, bruised shadows across the valley. Down below, an old man named Şiyar sat on the smooth stone step of his ancestral home. Across his lap lay his bağlama (long-necked lute), its dark wood polished by decades of calloused fingers. Д°brahim ЕћiyarВ Dost BulamadД±m

Şiyar smiled a bittersweet smile. He had traveled the earth searching for a friend, only to realize that in a world of passing shadows, his music, his memories, and the silent earth beneath him were the only true companions he ever needed.

He stayed in remote dervish lodges where men spoke of divine companionship, yet even there, egos competed for the highest seat. He sang in crowded coffeehouses, sharing his deepest vulnerabilities through his music, only to be met with clinking teaglasses and passing applause. People loved his songs, but they did not care for the man bleeding behind the melody.
