A correction:

"Gözlerinizden öperim" would most often be said from the older friend to the younger.

Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely
is made for the eyes of one who sees.

Mevlana Mathnawi I 2383


Yani "Güzele bakmak Sevaptır" acaba?

I am burning.
If anyone lacks tinder;
let him set his rubbish ablaze with my fire.

Rumi Mathnawi I, 1721

Everywhere I told my story,
to the sad and the happy.
Everyone came close, but only
with their own secrets, never knowing mine.
My secret is also hidden from me,
for the light shines only outward.
The body and soul are intimate friends
but the soul remains secret from us all.

Mevlana

God has given us a dark wine so potent that,
drinking it, we leave the two worlds.

God has put into the form of hashish a power
to deliver the taster from self-consciousness.

God has made sleep so
that it erases every thought.

God made Majnun love Layla so much that
just her dog would cause confusion in him.

There are thousands of wines
that can take over our minds.

Don't think all ecstacies
are the same!

Jesus was lost in his love for God.
His donkey was drunk with barley.

Drink from the presence of saints,
not from those other jars.

Every object, every being,
is a jar full of delight.

Be a conoisseur,
and taste with caution.

Any wine will get you high.
Judge like a king, and choose the purest,

the ones unadulterated with fear,
or some urgency about "what's needed."

Drink the wine that moves you
as a camel moves when it's been untied,

and is just ambling about.

Rumi

Our world needs to know more about Hazreti Mevlana.
Inşallah olur.

Hazreti Mevlana

...even very close male friends might use this to close a letter. Saygılarımla would sound odd between close friends.

Between very close friends- the beautiful and very Turkish:

"Gözlerinizden öperim"
