I did not come for a quarrel, my work is for love; the Friend's house is hearts, I came to build hearts.
Ben gelmedüm da'vîyiçün benüm işüm seviyiçün / Dostun evi gönüllerdür gönüller yapmağa geldüm
Yunus Emre, Dîvân, poem 179, couplet 2 (Mustafa Tatçı, Yûnus Emre Dîvânı, Istanbul 2008).
Everyone comes with a case to make.
To be proven right, to win.
Yunus shows his hands empty.
His work is love.
The Friend's house is the heart.
If the house is torn down, its Owner is wounded too.
That is why Yunus's craft is building.
The building of hearts.
