My Try:

1. Nights are in the arc of life. Why don´t sparrows fly, why are gardens empty?

2. Beautiful songs used up my lips. And crowded streets, they wore away my feet.

3. My saucepan is boiling covered. Is it flesh that is boiling or grief?

Ellerine sağlık, tunci.

Ok. Accepted.

My Try:

İspanyolca konuşan bir ülkede henüz bulunmadım.

No rocks for me. Ever.

Yani, öylesine ciddiye alacaksın ki yaşamayı,
yetmişinde bile, mesela, zeytin dikeceksin,
hem de öyle çocuklara falan kalır diye değil,
ölmekten korktuğun halde ölüme inanmadığın için,
yaşamak yani ağır bastığından.

(Nazım Hikmet, Yaşamaya dair, the whole poem and the translation is in the poetry section.)

Lütfen.

Mavili, your post reminds me of a hadith which I like a lot:

Narrated byAnas ibn Malik: A man passed the Prophet (peace be upon him) when some people were with him, and one of those who were with him said, “I love this man for Allah’s sake.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked if he had informed him, and when he replied that he had not he said, “stand up and go to him and inform him.” He stand up, went to him and informed him, and he replied, “May He for Whose sake you love me love you!” He then returned, and when the Prophet had asked him and he had told him what he had replied, he said, “You will be with him whom you love and you will have the reward you sought from Allah.” Bayhaqi transmitted it in Shu’ab al-Iman. In Tirmidhi’s version the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “A man will be with him whom he loves and he will get what he has earned.”

Lovely ambiguity.

Happy eid to all of you my friends. I congratulate every one who fasted.
