Esrefoglu Mosque
```````````````````````
to give the world for nothing is love
to let life flow away is love
offering the lump of sugar in your hand to another
swallowing the poison yourself is love
plagues falling from the sky like rain
holding up your head against them is love
this universe is a sea of fire
throwing yourself into it is love
you Esrefoglu of Anatolia know the truth
making the body mortal is love
Eşrefoğlu
Translated from the Turkish by Murat Nemet-Nejat
