Science is knowing science
science is knowing your self
if not knowing yourself
what is reading
of reading what is goal
knowing folks knowing Right
not knowing and reading a lot
is just dry bread
I read and know a lot—don’t say
I did a lot—don’t say
not knowing what is Right
is blowing in empty lot
the meaning of four books
is clear in Alif**
not knowing Alif
what kind of reading is this?
twenty-nine syllables
read from end to end
ask Alif, of your tutor,
what does it mean?
Yunus Emre says, hey tutor,
if thousands must trek to Hadj ‡
better than all
is entering a heart
