    The poem describes the fleeting nature of life, comparing it to a brief wind that passes by in the blink of an eye. It notes that the spirit will one day vacate the body, just as birds are freed from their cages. Further, life is likened to seeds sown by farmers - some will sprout while others die, representing the uncertainty of what will come after this life. The poem encourages caring for others as one day roles will be reversed and they may help you "when you soar to the sky".

    My fleeting life has come and gone

    By Yunus Emre
    My fleeting life has come and gone A wind that blows and passes by. I feel it has been all too brief, Just like the blinking of an eye. To this true word God will attest: The Spirit is the Body's guest, Some day it will vacate the breast As birds, freed from their cages, fly. Life, my good man, can be likened To the land that the farmer sows: Lying scattered all over the soil, Some of the seeds sprout, but some die. If you visit and give water To a sick man who needs care, With God's wine, he shall hail you there One day when you soar to the sky.
