“World Gospel (The Sonnet)
So long as there is selfishness,
There is no Christmas.
So long as there is occupation,
There is no Hanukkah.
So long as there is cruelty,
There is no Ramadan.
Till we end militant atheism,
There is no Humanism.
Till you conquer superstition,
There is no Diwali.
So long as there is division,
There is no Vaisakhi.
So long as there is inequality,
There is no Fourth of July.
Till we abolish hate from earth,
At half mast all flags must fly.”

If I fail, you cross off one human.
If I succeed, you witness civilization.”

“Vicdansaadet, The Sonnet
I have many names,
Sometimes I am Hometown Human,
Sometimes I am Mucize Insan,
Sometimes I am Ingan Impossible,
Sometimes I am Mukemmel Musalman,
Sometimes I am Dervish Advaitam,
Sometimes I am Bulldozer on Duty,
Sometimes I am Corazon Calamidad,
Sometimes I am High Voltage Habib,
Sometimes I am Himalayan Sonneteer,
Sometimes I am The Gentalist,
Sometimes I am Divane Dynamite,
Sometimes I am Rowdy Scientist.
These all look and sound so different,
because you are distant in culture.
Move past the circus of manmade caves,
within every heart you'll find a Naskar.
Call it Naskar, Shams or Adi Shankara,
it is all but one spirit of oneness.
Wherever the fire of integration
takes hold, there emerges Vicdansaadet.”

“Love Before Language (Sonnet 1227)
أعظم الحقيقة هي الحب ،
أعظم قانون هو الحب.
أعظم إيمان هو الحب ،
أعظم وجود هو الحب.
प्रेमसत्यं ब्रह्मसत्यम्।
प्रेम विना अस्तित्वं नास्ति।।
प्रेमदर्शनं ब्रह्मदर्शनम्।
प्रेम विना ब्रह्माण्डं नास्ति।।
Love happens regardless of facts,
Facts happen regardless of love.
When love and facts come together,
Magic happens in our veins and nerve.
Love before language,
Heart before heritage.
To unify this broken world,
I once took the divine pledge.”

“Sonnet 1144
Istanbul to Alpha Centauri,
Cosmos courses in my corpuscles.
Religion, nation, stuff it all,
Benevolence makes the world livable.
Din, dünya, milliyet falan,
hiç umurumda değil.
Sen mutlu ol - bana yeter.
Scripture, constitution, god, government,
Nothing matters to me, except behavior.
The greatest iftar is
to break the fast of apathy,
with the feast of affection.
Sin humano no hay dios,
Where there is no kindness
there is no divine intervention.
Sapiens intervention is divine intervention,
There is nothing higher or more mighty.
When we are obliterated in lifting the fallen,
That's the living manifestation of the almighty.”

“Kainat Calling (The Sonnet)
I'll take your leave now,
Kainat is calling -
Ain't gonna stay amidst
your narrowness no more.
You conquered moon,
you'll conquer mars,
yet what's the point,
when your heart is
still beastly sore!
Break your sleep, o drowsy doofus,
Wake up to the auspicious joyville!
Where love and light are supreme law,
Wake up to that valley of joy and zeal!
Everyday is Christmas there,
Everyday is Ramadan and Juneteenth.
Stay in your archaic muck if you like,
I gotta go now, Kainat calling!”

“End of Fear (Sonnet 1172)
Where the end of fear ends all barrier,
Where biases no longer run amok,
Where end of assumption sets forth ascension,
Where heritage no more wreaks havoc,
Where the head is without bent,
and the heart is never skint,
Where the spine is without dent,
and the eyes are without squint,
Where Christian, Muslim, Sikh 'n Jew,
sit and share a cup of stew,
Where Buddhist, Atheist, Jain, Hindu,
live and laugh as one life crew,
There beyond, where sentience lets no storm to brew,
Out of the fossil, into the fervor, I shall meet you.”

“Sonnet 1142
Naskar the scientist says,
Science that lifts no human condition,
is not science but superstition.
Naskar the monk says,
Inclusion is illumination,
discrimination is delusion.
Naskar the philosopher says,
Better lose truth, than lose humanity -
Better lose truth, than lose love.
Naskar the sufi says,
Sense yourself till
you sense nothing but love.
Naskar the humanist says,
I don't care about your belief or disbelief,
all I care about is your behavior with others.
Naskar the humanitarian says,
each human must earn their admission
into the human race with humane actions.
The spirit of love speaks of love,
no matter the faith and field.
Hate is but a mark of narrowness -
When you expand heart and soul,
whole world becomes kin and kith.”

“Heil Hitler, God save the king, Vande Mataram, Patria o Muerte - it's all the same - a declaration of tribal glory, with no concern for the rest of humanity. Such archaic attitude suits a bronze-age society, not a civilized one.

“Chrismadan (The Sonnet)
What happens when two ancient cultures come together!
They create a spectacular specimen called dervish advaitin.
When mistletoe and menorrah combine, heart shines brighter,
Beyond belief 'n disbelief, there's a land most enlightening.
Keep your outdated sectarian identities to yourself,
I am Jewistian, Hinduslim, or simply Human Universal.
Be the next civilized step of humankind's evolution,
Not just another savage vessel of mistakes ancestral.
Revitalized by Ramadan, humanized by Christmas,
Let's celebrate Chrismadan, as well as Hanukkawali.
Instead of carrying on as second-hand savages,
Habibi come, let us start living with humanity!
When all religions combine, a modern human is born.
Without integration there is no dawn, just endless mourn.”

“More muslims die from Islamist extremism than any other people. So don't you dare tell me, Islam is the same as Islamism! Islam is a people, Islamism is a sickness, just like Christianity is a people, Christian nationalism is a sickness - Hinduism is a people, Hindutva is a sickness - Atheism is a people, militant atheism is a sickness. And unless the peaceloving humans from each of these communities reach out to one another with a hand of integration, the nutcases from each of these communities will drag us all down the road of death and despair.”

“Why do you think I make zero mention of the culture I was born and raised in? It's because if I am to build a world where civilized beings would behave civilized and step across cultural bigotry, I must stand as the anomalous specimen of that possibility myself - I must stand as the ultimate global citizen - as a sapiens of earth, not of borders. Hence, I wiped out every last trace of identity imposed on me by the environment. Today I stand as the Himalayas - many cultures will claim exclusive copyright over me, but no single culture is vast enough to contain me.”

“When The Pillar Gets Weary (Dervish Sonnet 2776)
I don't utter a single word that
I wouldn't want to become part of the canon,
but person can't live on discipline alone,
so, having no lover to take my armor off for,
I found a different way to vent my vulnerability -
in the mainstream work I'm a pillar of strength,
while turkish is quite literally my love language -
english is the language where my brain feels at home,
turkish is the language where my heart finds rest -
none my mothertongue, yet both are my first language,
with spanish as my occasional substitute for english.
English is not my mothertongue,
english is my brother tongue -
spanish is not my mothertongue,
spanish is my cousin tongue -
turkish is not my mothertongue,
turkish is my lover tongue.
My territory is planet earth -
humanity, my civilization.
Figure what I didn't mention,
you'll learn the law of assimilation.”
