Ex Oriente Lux

                                                                         Benim aşktan başka

                                                                         Hiçbir arkadaşım yoktu      

                                                                         Ve olmadı.                                                  

                                                                         Ne dünyaya gelmeden önce,

                                                                         Ne de sonra

                                                                         Aşksız yaşamadım.

                                                                         Canım içimden bana şöyle diyor:

                                                                           -Ey aşk yolunun olgun yolcusu,

                                                                           Bana kapıyı aç.

                                                                                                                                                 Mevlânâ
