from Rumi:
Güneş gibi ol şefkatte, merhamette
Be like the sun in your compassion and mercy
Gece gibi ol ayıpları örtmekte
Be like the night and provide cover for the shame of others
Akarsu gibi ol keremde, cömertlikte
Be like a stream of kindness and generosity
Ölü gibi ol öfkede, asabiyette
Be like death to anger and irritability
Toprak gibi ol tevazuda, mahviyette
Be like the earth in modesty and humility
Ya olduğun gibi görün, ya göründüğün gibi ol
Appear as you are, and be as you appear to be
