Yaralardan Yangın Doğar Quotes

“Mucize Mülteci
(Divine Refugee Sonnet)

Call me misafir, call me göçmen,
This heart of mine is always migrant.
Şan ve şöhrete ben muhtaç değilim,
Benim derdim dünya, dünya dermanım.

Call me gypsy, or call me refugee,
This heart of mine is always migrant.
I've got no use for silicon or gold,
World is my bane, world, my ointment.

In Sanskrit I am Abhijit,
In English I am Victor.
In Arabic I am Ghalib,
In History I am Reformer.

Call me whatever you like,
Befitting your culture.
I have no reservations,
Above my human nature.

So many tongues, as many names -
Some call agua, some call pani.
Conquer the tongue, spirit is the same -
Some dub it divine, I live as humanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yaralardan Yangın Doğar: Explorers of Night are Emperors of Dawn

“Broken bone heals back stronger,
Broken heart heals back braver.
Broken mind heals back wiser,
Broken life heals back brighter.

Scars are not guilt marks,
Scars are mark of gallantry.
Scars are proof of resilience,
Scars are testament to bravery.

Scars are proof that you soldiered on,
Scars are proof that you never gave in.
Products are manufactured without scars,
People are shaped by scars and suffering.

Suffering is not a failure of life,
Suffering is a sign of life.
The living shall suffer one way or another,
So choose the reason, conscious and wise.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yaralardan Yangın Doğar: Explorers of Night are Emperors of Dawn

“Atheism has never been the focus in any of my work. If your own exploration of nature and the universe makes you outgrow the influence of ancestral myths, that's great - if not, it doesn't matter to me one bit. So long as you are a decent human being, your psychological necessity of a personal deity or the lack of it, is irrelevant outside our personal life.

If you stop believing in God, that won't magically make you a better person than you already are - in the same way - if you start believing in God, it won't magically make you a better person than you already are. Neither faith nor intellect makes a person good - if a person is good, they know how to use their faith or intellect for good. So, I repeat, what's needed, is not the end of religion, but the end of religious intolerance.”

“My pronoun is people,
I'm divergent, yet invincible.
I am straight, I am queer;
I am civilian, I am seer.
Spirit of life, I - am universal!

Call me disabled or differently able,
Call me collective or individual.
Fleshly forms I've got plenty,
All run by same love and liberty -
Culture supreme is inclusion.”

“My Pronoun is People
(Inclusivity Sonnet, 1266)

My pronoun is people,
I'm divergent, yet invincible.
I am straight, I am queer;
I am civilian, I am seer.
Spirit of life, I - am universal!

Call me disabled or differently able,
Call me collective or individual.
Fleshly forms I've got plenty,
All run by same love and liberty -
Culture supreme is inclusion.

Each heart is a shelter for another,
Each life is sanctuary for another.
Blasting all traditions of divide
into cinders with knowledge-dynamite,
we shall emerge as each other's keeper.

You ask, what am I - I say, I am human,
Better yet, I'm human's idea of a human.
I am but the human absolute -
morally unbending 'n divinely cute -
ever evolving testament to expansion.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yaralardan Yangın Doğar: Explorers of Night are Emperors of Dawn

“Give Me A Keyboard,
I'll Give You Revolution
(The Sonnet)

I just want to write -
that's all I ever want -
to write, write and write!
The day the words stop coming,
will be my last corporeal night.

Either I shall die by an assassin's bullet,
or I shall die on my keyboard,
but I refuse to die of old-age and disease.
Death scares those who are scared of life,
I have already lived my life in service.

I live on keyboard, I'll die on keyboard,
Keyboard is my instrument of illumination.
Nothing short could satisfy my palate -
Give me a keyboard, I'll give you revolution.

With my keyboard I've defended the meek,
With my keyboard I've castrated the pricks.
With my keyboard I've brought down dictators,
With my keyboard I've schooled bigoted pigs.

With my keyboard I've raised Gods by hundreds,
With my keyboard I've delivered world-builders.
With my keyboard I've produced hatebusters,
With my keyboard I've raised bulldozers.

Death is but a myth - body dies, not bulldozer;
Body is merely a vessel for the mission.
If you want your ideas to live forever,
You gotta sacrifice your life for a vision.

I never lived as body, but only as a dream -
My life is testament to the dream of united earth.
I don't have a message, for I am the message -
Sacrifice is beacon, that illuminates the universe.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yaralardan Yangın Doğar: Explorers of Night are Emperors of Dawn

“Death comes but once,
Life comes every day.
Now tell me what's braver,
Spirit of life or fear of death!”

“Until recently, career women were frowned upon, and those who stayed at home were respected - now the situation has gotten reversed - not better mark you, just reversed. Now career women are respected, and those who give up their career, or step down to a less demanding position, in order to raise a family, are object of ridicule. This is not progress, it’s recurring regress. Substituting one authoritarian cruelty with another is not progress, it’s recurring regress.”

Human never forgets to be human.
The entire Abhijit Naskar legacy
was created without any recognition.

Because I never wrote for admiration.
I write to provide shelter to all,
And electrify their veins into action.”
