All references about the original quote shows: "Aşk aşıkı şir eder, Aslanı zencir eder, Katı taşı mum eder"
Does that change the meaning? | | |
12 June 2013 22:09 | | | Well, 'ÅŸir' is not a word used in contemporary Turkish. Just looked at an Ottoman Turkish dictionary. It means 'ÅŸair/poet'. So no problem. | | |
