[edit] Quote from Huseyin Hilmi Isik

Zi-hicr-i dositân, hûn şüd derûn-i sîne cân-ı men,

Firâk-ı hem-nişînân suht magz-ı istehân-ı men!

Meaning:

My soul is crying blood in my chest for I have been separated from my loved ones

The separation is burning my bones as I'm without the ones I used to be with
