Eşrefoğlu (1469- ….) to give the world for nothing is love to let life flow away is love offering the lump of sugar in your hand to another swallowing the poison yourself is love plagues falling from the sky like rain holding up your head against them is love this universe is a sea of fire throwing yourself into it is love you Eşrefoğlu of Anatolia know the truth making the body mortal is love (Translated by Nermin Menemencioğlu, 101 Poems by 101 Poets An Anthology of Turkish Poetry)
