## Zekâ
Zekâ tefelsüfe mâ'ildi...
Onun zılâlinden
"Vücûda gelmişe benzer hayât, rûh, zekâ.
Evet, bu dâr-ı hakâyıkta her eser mutlak
Şikâr-ı nâhun-ı tenkîd olur; zekânın da
Günün birinde bütün sânihâtı yoklanacak,
Ve hep o felsefe hulyâları miyânında
Hayâtının kalacaktır yegâne mâ-hasalı
Hayâl ü his ile mâlî güzîde bir gazeli!..
