Greetings,
Please see, for example:
http://www.harbiforum.org/diger-diziler/114938-al-gulum-ver-...
“Al gülüm ver gülüm” seems to be used a lot:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q="ver gulum al gulum"&rls=co...
Does it have something to do with the concept of fair exchange?
All the best, and many thanks,
Simon
