A STAR'S
PASSED AWAY |
|
Passed away from amoungst us a star-true,
In the last days of nineteen-ninety-two,
Inspiring all around his deeds of illumination,
Speedily as he moved on to his destination;
And, to our senses having he brought us,
We, quietly, buried him in our hearts.

Oguz Metiner -Birlik 29 Jan 93 on
teaching, education, by teacher of
teachers, the Teacher, Orhan Ari. |
|
Well known and versed, none was he
Than the pilgrim -the Teacher: Orhan Ari.
His concern -so sincere!..
Greatly respected everywhere!..
Years spent to illuminate
More: hearts, his sultanate!
|
|
With his pupils was spent half his lifetime at schools
And at places of worship the other with the faithfuls,
As built his honesty a throne, in each heart, that rules.
Revealed was his departure-shortly for the hereafter
For, late-before, he had told his friends-closer
It was time he would meet his maker.
|
|
It did not take long.. he attained his ultimate desire;
And, having left his worldly possessions to his near and dear,
He settled on the throne of omniscience in the world after here.
Lie in radience, in paradise you rest!
The exalted prophet himself to intercede for you -the best!
Rejoice his grand soul, with God's good graces blest!
