📜 From Old Books, 17th Century:

"If my beloved is truly mine,
What sorrow would it be if the world turned hostile?
I need only my beloved, nothing else matters;
Even if the whole world becomes my foe from end to end."

🎨 Istanbul, 19th Century

"At your door, the lover suffers disgrace, while the rival enjoys honor.
Do not oppress today, my lady; tomorrow is Judgment Day.
I wish to reach the beloved’s union before I die,
So in sorrow’s corner, I keep the fast of separation."

✏️ Cafer Nâmî Efendi, 16th Century
