[Texts written between square brackets and some punctuation are added for the sake of making the meaning clearer.]

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST MERCIFUL, THE MOST COMPASSIONATE

In the gardens where rose opens, [in the gardens where roses open]
In clean and sweet-smelling bundles,
You see the hand of close friend.
You walk on the path of close friend.
In order to know your reality
You ask the one who comes, the one who passes. [you ask passersby]

Bees in honeycombs
Ask from darling,
Around the flowers
They turn and turn.
If your day equals to day,
If the honey that is taken, is of various kinds,
[then] It is The Talent of Allah,
Not yours.
The one who is brave, the one who knows him/herself
Is the one who gives to his/her surrounding,
Is the one who divides his/her each morsel to his/her surrounding. [he/she shares his/her each morsel with his/her surrounding]

Day is not equal to day.

Mevlana said,
I wandered around the tree,
I was ashamed of the beauty that I could not find.
HE creates the one that is more beautiful than beautiful,
HE extends from pasteternity to [future] eternity.

Yunus Emre said,
Let you not stay with one musical composition,
Let you not fade with one line.

Hadji Bayram said,
The ones who pass from branch to branch,
The ones who select the fruit [while it is] on the branch, [they collect the ripe ones, without damaging unripe ones]
They come to earth fast,
They preserve The Being [God's Light that they have at the time of birth]
In their bodies.

Meryem said, [Meryem=Virgin Mary]
We made "you, I/me" disappear,
"We" stayed. [we became one]
We performed word, saz a lot [saz==1. a stringed instrument (which somewhat resembles a lute).]
[we sang and played music a lot]

We became trump.

Hazrat Fatima said,
I sifted the flour, I added water. [I raised my children on His path]
Sons' pain increased a lot, [the pain when I lost my sons was very abundant]
I put ice in my heart that was burning. [my pain was a lot]
I waited, I have been waiting,
I have been adding patience to my patience:
We will laugh, [to laugh==to follow the footprints of Prophet Mohammad]
We will come in the name of Hak,
With each one of you
We will share the greetings.

Let selam [peace/greeting] be, let selam be, let selam be.

Allahu Ekber [Allah is The Greatest], Allahu Ekber, Allahu Ekber.

Lailaheillallah Muhammeden Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped; we wish to YOU and to Your Representative Mohammad.]

LOVE, SEE & SHARE:

Love all HIS creations;
See HIM in all of HIS creations;
Share HIS Meaning.
