[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

The color of each flower,
We love, we praise.
The equal of each event,
We seek [it], we ask [for it].
At each place where it is wished,
We set [spiritual] tables up.
The being of the saints,
We feel [it] in our heart.
On Mevlana’s path,
We go with deep love.
Said.

Mevlana said,
Your path reaches our path.
On our path the ones who love come together,
Saints walk around us.

My Yunus says,
At the place where the spring [natural fountain] is,
Plane [tree] grows.
At the place where love is,
Values strengthen.

Meryem and Fatima [Meryem=Virgin Mary]
Took from humans, from rose; [rose==Prophet Mohammad]
From faith, they worked for human with love.
They said,
At the place where there is no love,
There can not be peace.
Human can not stay away from the place
At which he/she is born. [i.e. from after earth life]

Sari Ana [Mother Sari] said,
The cloth that you wear [i.e. cloth of humanity]
Will make you count your days, [you will look forward to after earth life]
Will make you peel the negativities,
Will make the ones who do not know His path
Slide on ice.
To be lover, to be loved
Happen by knowing your Rab,
Happen by dividing [sharing] your morsel,
She said, Sari Ana greeted.

To be remedy for each trouble,
To ask about the trouble of the creation
Is in the structure of the one who is human,
Is at the door of the one who knows humanity.

I came directly to the structure,
I went to the front door,
[because] Back door does not give passage. [I can not enter through the back door]
The one who knows him/herself
Does not lay pileless carpet on the street. [he/she lays it in the structure of humanity...]

Hazrat Ali said,
The ones who take the horse in tow as spare, [the ones who care about [their] horses by not riding them]
The ones who put the right [correct, just] on their display stand,
Let them know that
They become the hand, the tongue of Rab,
They find the remedy of each trouble.

Hadji Bayram brought us water in his hand,
He said, “I brought greeting from saints to you.” [i.e. the chat that you are reading is the greeting of the saints/the spiritual water that they present]

My Merkez is on journey; [journey==migration] [he is meeting humans who migrate to after earth life]
His pleading will erase the shadows at dawn. [dawn==birth in Reality] [shadow is in matter/in image only, in Reality there is no shadow] [he will be witness in the interrogation of humans of whom he is the saint]
He will laugh at each one of you. [he will welcome you with smiles/joy]
In the name of all universe,
He will set the tables up.
At the place where sun rises [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
For the pleading of the saints,
He will mix his helva. [helva=a confection consisting of a paste made of ground sesame seeds and nuts mixed with honey, etc. ]
If one thousand one doors open, [door==door of each spiritual level/degree; one thousand one==endless]
If one goes through each one of the doors, [if one goes through all spiritual levels]
Does one [not] reach his/her pleading?
Does one [not] eat sweet morsel?
He said,
He took his greeting from the heart of each one of you.

Are we on the [His] path day and night?
Are we in the most beautiful “hal”? [hal=1. state, condition. 2. situation, circumstances, state of affairs. 3. behavior, attitude. 4. the present time. 5. strength, energy. 6. trouble.] [hal==to find oneself in water, air, sand, soil, tree, leaf…]
If festival is set up
Are we on the path that opens?
He said, Pir Sultan Abdal came.
Each step that we take
Should take to His target,
Should end the worries.
Human should not keep [other] human as responsible. [human should not blame other human for events]
Order is set up like that,
[as such] Helva is mixed in caldrons.

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.
