When dream become reality "Kilij-Pala"

[Zifir]

Adavetle adüvv olmuş
Var ise gelsin meydana
İzn(?)-i Mevla ile Adüvvü
Helak eyler bu pala

If there is anyone who becomes enemy with enmity
Let him come to battle field
With the permission of God, this pala destroys him

Dom sorry for this very dry translation, I think it's time to develop some literary skills

Hi Zifir
sorry for what?
I do not think that in those days, the Janissaries were people with emotional?
many of them, if not virtually all were castrated at an early age,
their destiny was to be the most valiant soldiers, and efficient as possible
all this, leaves little room for sentimentality or affectation
I imagine most of these guys, were tough and rough,
but with an education that gave them a sense of aesthetics and beauty

thanks again for every things, my Friend
