The heart is God's throne, God looked upon the heart; whoever breaks a heart is wretched in both worlds.
Gönül Çalab'ın tahtı, gönüle Çalab baktı / İki cihan bedbahtı, kim gönül yıkar ise
Yunus Emre, Dîvân (from the text in Timurtaş 1989, p. 163: Çakıroğlu, "Yunus Emre Divanı'nda Gönül").
Say throne, and people think of a palace.
Yunus points to a chest.
The Kaaba, the mosque, the temple are built by hand.
The heart walks along with every person.
It asks for no architecture.
Then the line sharpens.
Whoever breaks a heart
is wretched in both worlds.
A stone wall can be built again.
For a broken heart
it is hard to say the same.
