Nice enginlere daldım nice dardan geçerek
Nice kıştan, nice kardan, nice yardan geçerek
Seni bin kere yitirdim, seni buldum yeniden
Acı yıllar ve açılmaz kapılardan geçerek
_Mehmet Turan Yarar

Meaning:
I plunged into many seas, passing through many difficulties
Passing through many winters, much snow, many friends
I lost you a thousand times, I found you once more
Passing through painful years and closed doors
