Listen to presences inside poems,

Let them take you where they will.

Follow those private hints,

and never leave the premises.

از بس که برآورد غمت آه از من
ترسم که شود به کام بدخواه از من
دردا که ز هجران تو ای جان جهان
خون شد دلم و دلت نه آگاه از من

Let me praise you tonight.
Because tomorrow you cannot be described by words,
While describing you.
Tomorrow, earth and sky will disappear altogether.

When you look for God,
God is in the look of your eyes
In the thought of looking, nearer to you than your self,
or things that have happened to you.

There’s no need to go outside.
Be melting snow.
Wash yourself of yourself.

A white flower grows in the quietness.
Let your tongue become that flower.

Оглушал от гласа на желанието
ти не знаеш,
че Любимият живее
в твоето сърце.
Спри шума
и ще чуеш в тишината
Неговия глас.

Добре е да оставиш
всеки отминаващ ден назад,
като вода течаща,
свободен от тъга.
Вчера си отиде
и приказката му - изпята.
Днес нови семена растат.

Sopayla kilime vuranın gayesi, kilimi dövmek değil, tozunu almaktır. Allah sana sıkıntı vermekle tozunu, kirini alır. Niye kederlenirsin?

We cannot say much about love at first sight. It happens, and we live in the wake of a new life.

Every object, every being,
is a jar full of delight.

Be a connoisseur,
and taste with caution.

Any wine will get you high.
Judge like a king, and choose the purest,

the ones unadulterated with fear,
or some urgency about "what's needed."

Drink the wine that moves you
as a camel moves when it's been untied,
and is just ambling about.

لم يضر يوسف ذئب البرية، ولكن آذاه ذئب الحسد

Those beautiful words we said to one another are hidden in the secret heart of heaven. One day, like the rain, they will pour our love story all over the world.
