Lokman Table

Does anyone among you recognize me?

I am the secret that cannot be solved without being lived!

Even if there is no one left who has not heard of my fame,

It is difficult for me to describe my identity.

The nightingale sang in my language,

He held on to his heart for a rose,

An avalanche fell from the Taurus Mountains into his heart,

Snow did not put out my fire.

Many were sultans, kings, and shahs;

His fortune and luck changed with me;

I leveled the crown and throne to the ground;

I have incredible talents.

I made the scholar ignorant while he was perfect,

While he was a savage, I made the tyrant wild,

I made Selim sad when he was Yavuz,

I am the secret difficulty that breaks every game.

I produced tuberculosis on earth;

Lokman the Physician could not find a cure;

I turned Kerem into ashes for Aslı;

I am the coal into which Abraham was thrown.

Some of the reasons were Leyla, some were Şirin;

For my sake the lofty mountains were pierced;

My wrist strength was known with Ferhat;

The power is mine, the strength is mine, the light is mine.

I turned Mevlana around with my hymn,

I calmed the anger with my Yunus,

I have extinguished many furnaces with my sins,

I am from God; good is mine, evil is mine.

Muhammad was created for me,

That mercy was showered on me,

The love in the words of the saints,

I am the light on the face of the prophets.

I am alone, I have no relatives or enemies,

I am invisible, I have no body, no picture,

I don't upset the tongue, there is only one syllable in my name,

My shelter is the place called heart.

My name is love!

*

Is there anyone who knows me from within?

The secret that's unsolved until it lived is mine!

Even if fame doesn't hear about me,

Describing my identity is difficult.

The nightingale echoed with my tongue,

It kindled its life for a single rose,

An avalanche fell into its heart from the Taurus Mountains,

Yet the snow couldn't extinguish my fire.

Many were sultans, kings, and shahs;

Their destiny and fortune changed with me;

I shattered the crown and throne to the ground;

I have astonishing skills, it's me.

I made scholars ignorant while still wise,

I turned tyrants into benign beings,

I tamed the fierce Selim while mighty,

I disrupt every plot with my hidden force.

I produced diseases and remedies on this earth;

Lokman Hekim couldn't find my cure;

For the sake of love, I turned Kerem to ashes;

I am the fire where Ibrahim was thrown into.

For some, it was Leylâ, for some, it was Şirin;

Mountain peaks were pierced for my sake;

My strength was recognized through Ferhat;

Power is mine, might is mine, the distinction is mine.

I made Mevlana dance with my divine,

With Yunus, I calmed down the wrath;

With my sins, I extinguished many fires;

I belong to Mevlâ; Both good and evil are mine.

Muhammad was created for me,

That mercy was showered for me,

The love in the words of saints,

The light on the faces of prophets is mine.

I am lonely, I have neither kin nor enemy,

I am invisible, I have neither body nor image,

I don't harm, there's only one syllable in my name,

My sanctuary is called the heart.

My name is love!
