Çömez Ilımlı Olmalı
Eğer ki, sayılmaz şahsınız mahir:
Olmaz ki, hükmüne zahmet muktedir;
Baksa, işbilir cin gibi işine:
Aramazdı, şapşal gibi tehlike;
Helal et, alsın adalet bir ikbal:
Tekerrür etmesin, kazara ihmal;
Bırak teferruatı, ilgilisine:
Bulur kurnaz eller, dengi-dengine!
(Hiç eskimeyen üsluptan bir manzume)
- İngilizce / English -
A novice should be temperate
If you are not known to be a skillful person:
Your hard work will not prove great ability
If you were to attend to your work like a master genie:
You would not invite danger like a fool
Gift your Blessings! Let justice be rewarded:
Let it not be repeated, accidentally by neglect
Leave the details to the relevant person:
Find the cunning hands, equal and equivalent!
(A verse in a timeless style)
