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.”

Simple, Sonnet / Basit, Şiir | Rowdy Scientist
“Simple, Sonnet
Serenity is born of simplicity,
Insecurity is born of clutter.
Patience empowers perseverance,
Selfishness brings down disaster.
But what’s a life without difficulty,
Difficulty delivers durability.
Don’t be ashamed of darkness in life,
It’s in darkness we shine most brightly.
There’s nothing shameful about fear,
It’s a problem when the reason is baseless.
Trouble of privilege is trouble of lies,
Reject all privilege and rush to the helpless.
It is human nature to shed tears when in agony,
Taking pain to wipe another’s tears is humanity.”
“Basit, Şiir
Barış doğar basitlikten,
Korku karmaşıklıktan.
Sükunet doğar sabırdan,
Belalar bencillikten.
Ama dertsiz hayat nasil hayat,
Zorluk bize cesaret getirir.
Karanlık hiç de ayıp değil,
Karanlık bize parlamayı öğretir.
İnsan korkmazsa kim korkacak –
Sebebi doğruysa korkmak ayıp değil.
Servetin derdi yalan derdidir,
Dünyada gerçek dertler eksik değil.
Dertte olduğunda herkes gözyaşı dökmeyi bilir,
Ama başkasının gözyaşını silmek için
derdine katlanmak, çok azı bilir.”

The Sonnet is Civilization (Sonnet 2235) – Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

I hear, ‘just because you’re a citizen,
doesn’t mean you’re an american’.
I say, just because you’re american,
doesn’t mean you’re a civilized human.
I hear, ‘just because you’re a citizen,
doesn’t mean you’re english or australian’.
I say, just because you’re english or aussie,
doesn’t mean you’re a civilized human.
I hear, ‘hindi bolnese koi hindustani nahi banjaata’,
I say, hindustani bannese koi insan nahi banjaata.
Ved, Koran ya Bible ratta maarnese koi pak ya pavitra
nahi banjaata, there’s no greater granth than chetna.
Tyranny never comes dressed as tyranny,
tyranny always comes dressed as tradition.
İyilik evren benim, tüm kâinat benim mahalle,
dogma de la etnicidad arruina la civilización.
