A HUMAN BEING
One should come into the world humanely
To grow up
To get educated
Should be in a human way
At work
One should receive enough humanely
Through respect, love, and honor.
One should live with his loved ones
And travel with pleasure
One should age humanely
To be a human being
Should be a human’s right…

İnsan
İnsanca doğmalı
Büyümek Okumak İnsanca olmalı
Çalışırken İnsanca doymalı
Saygı sevgi ve onuruyla Sevenleriyle yaşamalı
Gezmeli tadıyla İnsanca yaşlanmalı İnsan olmak
Hakkı olmalı insanın…
