Na Kovačima [English translation]

White garden, with a dear soul,

Hey Nisim1 from Bakije2.

Oh, If I would, this morning,

Sail to the Rayyan3with you.

We are crying, but you are jolly,

The Dunya4 is a delusion for all.

There's no force above Allah,

Iman Billah5, that is true!

In the middle of the Kovaci6, like on Sofra7,

One heart is dreaming with his children.

One Ashiq8 on Sabahs9,

Visits them, while shedding tears.
