[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

Mountains open His path,
Traveler passes His path.
The one who loves The Beautiful One
Chooses Rab’s path.

I entered the flat one of the path.
I asked Mevlana:
Is to be in difficulty equivalent
Of the one who is in narrowness?
He said:
End of every night is dawn.
The interrogation of the one who gets rid of worry
Is small. [interrogation that takes place at migration time]
Work ends the one
That trouble, worry brings.
As such, human saves his/her essence.

I entered his [? His ?] vineyard,
I asked Yunus,
Vineyards turned green.
Eras made overflow, [with time, humans increased in number so much]
Human kept on running toward the one that he/she did not know.
Is it because of the order [system]?
Is it because of The One Who writes?
The One Who writes knows what HE writes,
In human, HE sees the one who [spiritually] matures rightly.
If human departs from right [correct],
He/she walks on stony path.
If he/she says, “Make me turn my Allah,”
If he/she eats Hak’s morsel
Even if it is dry [bread],
If he/she pours out his/her worries to flowing water,
[then] He/she turns towards right [correct].
[otherwise,]

He/she is distressed by wrong.

(Question: Is it because of destiny?)

Pir Sultan Abdal said,
Destiny is a very big caravansary.
To find its door
Is a different guess for each human.
Human should head toward The One That he/she knows,
He/she should exist in every moment
In ONEness of Rab.

Meryem and Fatima, [Meryem==Virgin Mary]
Put loaf [of bread] in their basket,
Laid pileless carpet
On grass.
Meryem says,
We added our morsel to one another.
In unknown events,
We did not talk [about them].
[as such,] We threw [away]
The stones that were on our skirts. [as such, we got rid of earth load]

Fatima said,
Come, let us be ONEness,
In ONEness, let us find the relief.
Let us present
The blessing that we take from our Rab
To each one who wishes.

Hadji Bektas [is] on path,
My Behlul [is] on raft,
They wave handkerchief at one another,
They send greeting to all universe.
My Behlul says,
You can not put time within time, [you can not add time to time]
You can not count time as being from you. [you can not consider time as being on your side]
If there is no time,
You can not hear any thing. [you do not know how much time you have on earth; use your time wisely, know The Meaning before migrating to after earth life; if you do not use your time properly, you migrate without hearing [without knowing The Meaning]]
[while on earth:]

Open your ear, listen to the universe.
Not each one who wishes takes the pen;
Whomever my Mevla gave, he/she [? she [Garib] ?] writes.
When my Mevla wishes,
HE solves Himself.

“Do not stop!” said Hadji Bayram.
In your pleading, find me.
The knot that you can not untie
Ask The One Whom you trust.
Knowledges are in increase, [knowledges increase]
Works [are] on scale,
Loves [are] on every side.

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.
