[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

We missed His days on which
Roses grow,
Nightingales come together,
Lambs bleat,
Each one of them come together in meadows.
We nourished the babies:
We became Mevlana, we had heart-to-heart talk,
We became Yunus, we shared,
We said Hadji Bayram, we had heart-to-heart talk,
With Hadji Bektash, we wrapped [embraced] all universe.
Each one of them said,
"Love, come together with Darling,
Love, work in the name of Darling.
If you want peace,
Share whatever you have
In your mind, in your heart, in your hand
With each one who loves.
You will see that
Each breath that you share from heart
Reunites you with peace,
Makes you talk in the name of Allah."

Meryem said, [Meryem=Virgin Mary]
"The door of this world,
My Rab has its title deed.
Whatever you take, it is not yours,
Whatever you give, it is not from you.
Whatever HE wishes, you will do that,
As such, you will hold the door of the saints."
[Verses said by Hazrat Meryem, and other parts of today's chat may be better understood under the light of the following information: Allah created/creates the matter by transforming some of HIS LIGHT into matter. Every thing that is visible to human eye, including human body, is HIS LIGHT in the form of matter, in other words, is HIM. HIS LIGHT is shadowless, matter is imaginary. HE makes His Matter act according to rules that may be expressed mathematically, and HE allows humans discover these rules [i.e. His Science]. Using these rules humans think that they may control the matter, however, Allah is in complete command of His Matter in every moment. HE is The Creator of all events...]

Fatima said,
"My hands are very full,
I came to your table,
I listened to what were being said.
Anxieties, worries [are] irrelevant.
Allah's order [command] [is] unconditional."

Hazrat Ali said,
"The order [orderliness] of the mountains,
I fell in love with The One Who is its Writer.
Forts are ours, they will stay as ours.
My Rab's love is my essence.
We will love all universe,
We will join with The Commander.
We will choose [set up] our front
At the unexpected location.
That day is our day,
That day is your heart."

The one who does not love him/herself
Does not love his/her surrounding either.
He/she does not love his/her homeland either,
He/she does not love the worlds either,
He/she does not love the wise one either.
His/her mind is in tyrant, in cruelty,
[his/her mind is] In the oil lamp that does not burn.
[however,]
Whatever happens,
Light erases the darkness,
[Light] Burns the tyrant, the cruelty in its fire.

Mevlana said,
"Our path, we gave [it] to close friend;
We set up bridge for His water [we set up bridge [between Mevlana and Garib] for His [spiritual] water [i.e. for the chats]]
So that the ones who come and pass are matured [spiritually],
[so that]
He/she knows the one who is close friend, [and] the one who is enemy..."

Lokman said,
"Chief physician will know,
He will touch the sand with his hand,
He will give His cure.
Close friend will hold by his/her hand,
Will add his pleading to His water,
Will make [him/her] wear pink cloth."

Yesevi said,
"We are at your table at [the time of] each one of your pleading[s].
Our hand is in hand,
Our heart is in rose. [rose==Prophet Mohammad]
Salvation is in tongue,
Read "salavat"s. [salavat=1. a prayer in which God is asked to bless the Prophet Muhammad and his descendants [i.e. all humans]. 2. ritual prayers, namaz.]
Your prayers [should be]
Not to earn the earth,
But to reach our Rab with our love...
My Rab
Is The One Who accepts the prayers of each one of you,
Is The One Who places [them] in circuit. [WHO makes them become true]
HE is the One Who makes laugh the one who will laugh.
If you laugh, HE makes [you] laugh,
If you cry, HE makes [you] cry.
HE conveys your love to all universe.
The remedy of each sickness[/trouble],
My Rab knows [it], makes [it] be known.
HE makes you find the rightest [most correct] path
As long as
You do not cease to hope from Him,
[as long as] You do not turn your back on anyone after you fall in hopelessness.
Let our eye, our heart
Be filled with Him.
Let our love, our respect
Find [reach] all universe.
Amen.

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.
