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

I looked at His Order [orderliness]:
More Beautiful than Beautiful.
I looked at Its Writer:
More Special than Special.
HE connected His each creation to one another,
On His Earth, HE gurgled like waters.
In His Reality, some laughed, [to laugh==to follow the footprints of Prophet Mohammad]
Some cried.
The one who laughs, if he/she knows why he/she laughs,
The one who cries, if he/she conforms to the one that he/she cries for,
[then] There is no one who says, “Stop!” to The Order,
[? [then] There is no One Who says, “Stop!” to The Order, ?]
No one puts stone at the foot of anyone.

At the table of Mevlana,
We saw the sweet food;
We criticized the table that has no sweet.

Yunus says:
There is no beautiful-ugly one of the food.
No point is put to the food that is eaten. [the food that is eaten is not criticized, not even a little]
Each table is The Order [orderliness] of my Rab,
Nothing misses there.
Bitter, sweet, sour, salty,
Whatever you find, let you be thankful to Him;
Plead for the tables that are not. [plead for humans who do not know to thank to Him…]

Pir Sultan Abdal said:
Sometimes I ate baklava, borek, [borek=flaky pastry containing thin layers of cheese/minced meat]
Sometimes I broke the onion,
I ate [it] with loaf [of bread].
I did not say, “Why?”
I did not break my heart.
I stayed as separate from nobody.

I loved His Beautiful One,
I saw His Special One.
I looked right,
I looked left,
I said, “Let my breath be last,”
He said, Hodja Ahmet Yesevi came to word.
I saw every side like day;
We should see the brightness,
We should spread flowers on His paths…

We should send greeting
To Meryem [virgin Mary] and Fatima.
“We took [your greeting],” they said, they came.
At each step, they pleaded.
Let hands not wait as empty,
Let feet not stay in mud.
Let
Close friends stay next to you,
Enemies [stay] behind you.
Plead!
Mature [spiritually] while pleading!
Take the blessings that come from my Rab.
HE is Merciful, HE is Compassionate.
Remember His Name,
Know His Might.
They conveyed their greeting to each one of you.

They transferred the word to Hazrat Ali.
He said:
One day, three days, five days, seven days,
Your faces will laugh.
Our words will come. [? Our words [are] the future. ?]
Let us be in salvation. [? Let us mature [spiritually] while being in salvation. ?]
Let us keep every one of our words.
We are in the same moment,
We are on the same side,
We are at the most beautiful end,
He said, Hazrat Ali greeted.

Our path is not long,
It will improve from day to day,
The most beautiful events
Will fold up one on top of the other one…

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.
