Sevda kuşun kanadında [English translation]

At a mountain top, I came across a whitebeard

On a thousand year old carpet, he was seated cross legged

as if for a thousand years, like a plane tree.

I asked him:

"What is love? Master! What is the mystery of life?

I am madly in love, head over heels

and I have a full life before me"

Love is on the wings of a bird,

If you startle, you can't catch it.

With birdlime, with a sling, you may strike but not embrace.

The water of the mystery of life:

You can't find at the fountains.

Suddenly you get to sip from a wild creek but can't quench [yourself].
