[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 trees
That we respect
Of which we peel the fruit that we put on our table
Are from The Beautiful One.
Beauty is the hard work that human does.
Let
The one who knows,
The one who does not know
Take;
Let him/her ask the one who knows the right [correct]. [? Let him/her ask the right to the one who knows. ?]
Let him/her wrap [embrace] each creation as he/she wishes,”
He said,
Mevlana took the word.
I waited for His close friends.
I loaded the saddlebag on the horse.
From the one who asked for His path,
I expected patience. [I expected him/her to be patient]
Patience
Makes human [spiritually] mature,
Opens His path.
The one who has power [of patience]
Passes the bridge.

My Yunus said,
The paths that will be passed, are not narrow.
No stain remains in human’s vision, [vision==to see Him in His creations]
If he/she knows Rab,
If he/she loves the creation.

Hadji Bektas said,
Mountains, plains, plateaus
Tell human [about] the wideness of the universe,
Boil his/her deep love [for Him]
In air, in water.
Come! Let us be with the one who knows,
Come! Let us find Darling.
At each place where we remember [Him],
Let us see HIM.
[The above and below verses may be better understood under the light of the following information. Allah created/creates the matter by transforming some of HIS LIGHT into particles [matter]. HIS LIGHT is shadowless, matter is imaginary. Everything that is visible to human eye is indeed HIS LIGHT in the form of matter, in other words, is HIM. HE is in complete control of His Particles in each moment, HE makes us see the events in the way that HE desires; HE is The Creator of all events. HE created human by blowing from HIMSELF, therefore, even our spirit is from His Light and belongs to HIM...]

Pir Sultan Abdal said,
You can own
Neither the throne nor the destiny.
You can not write
Your own destiny.
You can  own
Neither your life, nor your merchandize, nor your property.
Each being's owner is HIM.
Each writing is HIS. [writing==events related to the destiny of each human]

Yesevi said,
The one that you seek on plain,
You can not find [it] on mountain.
As long as you do not have power
You can not come to plateau.
You can not trace the destiny of the genesis.
Know that HE is The only Owner of HIS creation.
HE assigns no one as deputy.
HE is The only Owner of The Existence,
HE hands [it] over to no one.

We came together at the house of close friends.
We had [a] heart-to-heart talk with each one of them.
They said:
We are next to the ones who know their Rab,
We are next to the ones who are with their Rab,
We are in the direction of the ones who know the creation.
We are with you in every moment,
We will be with you;
We will find the most correct path
With you.

I said,
Do I thank you [or]
Do I thank my Rab?
They said:
Thanking us as well as thanking Rab is to my Rab.

For the ones who open the door of salvation,
For the ones who choose the most beautiful path,
I wish
That they erase hopelessness,
That they divide their worries,
That they see beautiful day.
As long as one does not separate from the truth,
As long as one stands at the right place,
Salvation doors are open.
Each duty that is performed
Is passage on your path.

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.
