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

BISMILLAHIRAHMANIRAHIM [IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST MERCIFUL, THE MOST COMPASSIONATE]

We arrived at the target
Of the power that exists
In the deep one of the rivers,
In the cool one of the waters.
We asked about the day's power that
The sun brings.
It is said that:
Takes from the sun,
Gives to the soil;
Each human finds it [? IT ?]
In him/herself.
He/she should deserve what [? WHAT ?] he/she finds,
He/she should herd his/her love a lot.

Mevlana said:
Herd your love as much as you can herd.
Let respect be with you.
Let each human find in you
Respect and love.

Yunus Emre’s word [is] in every language;
His saz will be played [saz=a stringed instrument (which somewhat resembles a lute)]
Because his eye is upon worlds.

If tongues chat,
[if] Hands share,
[if] Love becomes widespread,
Then human develops his/her intention,
Then he/she pays his/her wergeld, he said,
Pir Sultan Abdal took the word.
Take step on each surrounding,
Add your being to the history:
Let all universe wake up,
Let one lean only on his/her Rab.

Meryem and Fatima [Meryem=Virgin Mary]
Gave their word,
Wrapped [embraced] all of you.
They said:
Our Rab saw the action of all universe.
HE wrapped [embraced] in the hal that HE saw.
HE tied the ones who did/do not conform, to interrogation.
HE gave the circle of love that HE wished/wishes
To the hand of the ones who know [The Meaning].
HE saw both the one who does not know
And he one who knows.
Let our wrapping [embracing one another] be
What HE sees:
Let all [humans of the] universe wrap [embrace] one another.

Mountains, stones call out,
When day comes, they decorate themselves, he said,
Hazrat Ali took the word:
Mountains, stones are not moaning,
They are singing folk song.
Flowing waters are not worrying,
They are singing song.
Day will come, you will listen,
You will renew your hopes.

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.
