Gotta Be Citizens of Love | Divane Dynamite
“Kâinatin tek hakikat, aşktır,
Aşktan başka her şey yalan.
Hayatın tek hakikat asktir.
Aşktan başka her şey ölüm.
Only truth in the cosmos is love,
All else is but lie.
Life’s only truth is love,
All else is but death in disguise.”
“Türkistan değil, İngiliztan değil, Hindistan değil, sadece Aşkistan lazım, sadece Aşkistani olmak lazım.
“Not Yankeestan, Not Turkistan, Not Hindustan, what’s needed is Aşkistan, what we gotta be is, citizens of aşk, love, amor and sarang.”

Ramadan Sonnet | Armor of The World
Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim doesn’t mean,
God is merciful only to the muslim.
The spirit of godliness that we hold within,
is meant to light up the world as our kin.
Fasting and feasting all turn mere futile choir,
If, for whatever reason, life is distant from life.
Celebration of Ramadan is celebration of rahmat*,
Ramadan without *compassion is Ramadan without life.
Ramadan is not a muslim festival,
Ramadan is a human festival.
Ramadan is a reminder to rekindle our light,
Ramadan is the end of all feelings uncharitable.
None of us will have faith till we wish for
our neighbor as we wish for ourselves (Hadith 13).
The reward for goodness is goodness itself (Q55:60).

Ramadan Promise | Eid Mubarak
“Ramazan Söz (Şiir)
Ramazan yani sabır,
Ramazan yani sevmek.
Ramazan yani saadet,
Ramazan yani rahmet.
Ramazan bize umut verir,
Ramazan yapar cesur.
Hadi gelin, bayram edelim,
Affedelim her geçmiş kusur.
Ramazan yani bir ilahi söz,
Rahmetten vazgeçmem, söz verdim.
Bu ramazan ve her ramazan,
İnsanın evine insana hoş geldin.
Ramadan is resurrection of a promise divine,
Festival of one people is festival of humankind.
Ramadan is the end of all feelings unkind,
Ramadan is a human being a human’s lifeline.
Rahmat is an act of azan,
Rahmat is what makes us holy.
When Rahmat and Azan manifest as one,
That’s the beginning of Ramazan,
Christmas and Deepavali.”

More Important Than Truth (The Sonnet) | The Pastor Who Never Was
In the beginning even I was,
Bedazzled by the concept of truth.
It took me some time to,
Step across the lure of truth.
That is when I realized that,
Every brain creates its own truth.
So we’d never achieve harmony,
With the heartless pursuit of truth.
Understanding the definition of truth,
May differ from person to person.
But the virtues of basic goodness,
Need no divisive interpretation.
Always place love first, truth second.
Humanity first, intelligence second!
