"So in the end, was it worth it? How irreparably changed my life has become. It's always the last day of summer and I've been left out in the cold with no door to get back in. I'll grant you I've had more than my share of poignant moments. Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it. Throughout my lifetime, I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door. "

Our Beloved Prophet's Farewell Sermon

Translation of a Turkish nasheed i like a lot:
i have loved you,
since you are the lover of the one to whom worshiped.
since not only me, but all world is admirer of you,
i have loved you.
by leaving my spouse and kids,
i have come to your garden (rawdza).
since quran is praising your morals,
i have loved you.
me to be a sacrificed for you o the king of prophets,
do not drive me away from your door.
since the creator loved your beloved face,
i have loved you.
in judgement day, even the prophets,
expect for your help.
since the rose faced angels admire you,
i have loved you.

Wake up o my eyes!
wake up o my eyes! wake up from ignorance!
wake up o my sleepy eyes! wake up!
azrail's aim is to your life, believe.
wake up o my eyes! wake up from ignorance!
wake up o my sleepy eyes! wake up!
in dawns, all birds wake up
in their own languages, they start to zikr
mountains, stones, trees confirm the tawhid
wake up o my eyes! wake up from ignorance!
wake up o my sleepy eyes! wake up!
(composed on the part of the poem written by ottoman sultan murad the 3rd. Its is reported that sultan wrote this poem in pains when he missed a fajr prayer by falling asleep. the translation of the rest of the poem is below.)
they open the doors of skies
they spill the water of merciness to people
they sew heaven dresses for the ones who wake up in dawns
wake up o my eyes! wake up from ignorance!
wake up o my sleepy eyes! wake up!
this world is transient, do never fall for it
by being haughty, do not lean to crown and throne
do not rely by saying 7 climates is mine
wake up o my eyes! wake up from ignorance!
wake up o my sleepy eyes! wake up!
Its me, your slave Murad, forgive my guilt
excuse my guilt and abolish my sin
on judgement day, vitalize and gather me just under the flag of your Rasul
wake up o my eyes! wake up from ignorance!
wake up o my sleepy eyes! wake up!

(the poem below was written by a turkish army officer during the defence of the holy city of medinah in 1st world war, against english forces and some arab & badawi tribes they proveked.)
Dünya ve ahiret Efendimizsin
you are our master in world and hereafter
Bir Ulü'l-emr idin emrine girdik
Ezelden bey'atli hakanımızsın
Az idik sayende murada erdik
Dünya ve ahiret sultanımızsın
a global-commandment you were, we got under
you are our primordially obeisanced ruler
we were few, through you we did our goals
you are our sultan of world and hereafter
Unuttuk İlhan’ı, kara Oğuz’u;
İşledik seni gözbebeğimize.
Bağışla ey şefi’ kusurumuzu
Bin küsür senelik emeğimize.
we have forgotten Ilhan, Kara Oghuz
we embroidered you to our pupil of eyes
o interceder, forgive our faults
in sake of our thousand more years of efforts
Suçumuz çoksa da sun'umuz yoktur
Şımardık müjde-i sahabetinle
Gönlümüz ganidir, gözümüz toktur
Doyarız bir lokma şefaatinle
even our fault is much, we had no impact
we spoiled with herald of your protection
our heart is rich, but eyes are contented
we are contented with one morsel of your intercede
Nedense kimseler dinlemez eyvah!
O kadar saf olan dileğimizi
Bir ümmi isen de Ya Resulellah.
Ancak sen okursun yüreğimizi.
alas! whyever it is, noone listens
to our such much pure wishes
even you were an illiterate, o rasulallah
only you read our hearts.
water of rose water bottles exhausted
not exhausted the tear of our eyes, mercyness!
ashes of thuribles got cold
people burning with your love in their chests
Gelmemiş Türkçe’de “Kıys” ü “Hassan”’ın
Yok, bizde ne “Bürde” ne “Muallâka”
Yolunda baş veren Al-i Osman’ın,
Lal ile yazdığı Tarihten başka.
Not in Turkish your Lebid, Hassan
we dont have neither Burde, nor Muallaka
other than the dumb history which
is written by Ottomans, who gave head in sake of you
Ne kanlar akıttık hep senin için
O Ulu Kitab'ın hakkıçün aziz
Gücümüz erişsin ve erişmesin
Uğrunda her zaman döğüşeceğiz
so much blood we poured for you always
for the right of that sublime book, sacred
no matter our power is enough or not
we will fight in sake of you always
Yapamaz Ertuğrul evladı sensiz.
Can verir, Canan’ı veremez Türkler.
Ebedi Hadimu’l-Haremeyniniz.
Ölsekde ravza’nı ruhumuz bekler.
cannot be sons of Ertughrul without you
Turks give their lifes but not their beloved
forever we are servants of haramayn
our souls watches for your Rawdza, even we died
----------------------------------------------
We are not innocent... none of us...
if each night you are waking up in blood and sweat
if loneliness is lieing by all along your embrace as if a lover
if your eyelashes getting wet for everything this or that
if you remember your mother, even understand her, more often?
if you feel your heart crinkled up and thrown away as a letter
if you feel yourself destitude and early-forgotten
hug to the kid in you
it tells you being a human.
hands are sinners
tongues are sinners
this is a fire of an age
all world is sinners
we are not innocent
none of us...
----------------------------------------------
Our situation is smoky.
by time, we overcame mountains and walls
we plunged into the world far away from lover
aman, aman, we got out of remedies.
our situation is smoky, aman
by time, our blood is filled of poison
the one got out of road, became prey to wolf
the one you called 'friend' robbed your heart
our attitude is smoky, aman
where ever you live my dear
no affair, no love, all lies

I really appreciate your help earlier; I know you wanted to call it a discussion. InshaAllah I might have something worth taken on our next discussion -if ever. See you around inshaAllah and I'll always break your record.
salaam alaikum, thanks for asking about our remodeling project. Its still underway. Alhumdulillah we are making small progress. It will take a good year or more to get it all done, insha Allah, but insha Allah it will be very nice once it is finished. But we not only are remodeling our family home (completely removing everything in the kitchen & starting over) but also we are remodeling our Art Gallery "house" which will become our art gallery. So I guess we like giving ourselves LARGER than life projects to try to complete.! LOL Salaam
How are you? Hope that you are well. Just passing though to wish you salam. Take care always.
