Translations:On Dördüncü Söz/119/en

O my wretched soul sunk in heedlessness, which sees this life as sweet, has forgotten the hereafter, and seeks only this world! Do you know what you resemble? An ostrich! It sees the hunter, but cannot fly, so sticks it head in the sand so the hunter will not see it.Its bulky body remains in the open, and the hunter sees it. Only, its eyes are closed in the sand and it cannot see him.
