I don’t have any friend besides Love.
Love was with me before I came into this world, and It is with me still.
Soul yells, “O lazy one on Love’s way,
Come on, hurry up, reach me.”
Ergin, Rubailer, V. 1, Page 17

You Are Still Alive (10/11/15)
You are satisfied, but I haven’t had enough of this drink.
I am annihilated, but you are still alive.
The millstone turns and cries quietly
As long as water flows through the canal.
Ergin, Rubailer, V. 1, Page 432
Don’t Ask for Reason (9/20/15)
At night, I turned around the city like wind, running like water
How can sleep overcome the one who walks around the city in darkness?
The mind is the one who wants to have everything in order.
Don’t ask for reason or manners from the drunk.
Ergin, Rubailer, V.98, p. 197
