Wish is the string and love is the embroidery

Appears more beautiful when it is knitted more

Looking with the eyes of soul

Appears more beautiful when it is seen more

Time is the breeze

Life is the tree; the days are the branches

Happiness is a long road

Appears more beautiful when it is reached

The pleasing words be in the mouth

The stings be on the rose

The memories be in the year

Appears more beautiful

The air making men live

The pleasing words is the remedy

Any person having a dream of a home

Appears more beautiful

On the other hand, Şeref says

My caravan left the inn

Any lover embracing his dear

Appear more beautiful when it is sincerely
