In #OrhanPamuk's novel My Name is Red, when Enishte Effendi is talking to God after his death, #ErdağMGöknar's* translation says:

"'Mystery,' I heard in my thoughts, or perhaps, 'mercy,' but I wasn't certain of either."

Can any #Turkish readers tell me the words used in the original, & their literal translation?

* Not impressed with Faber & Faber for burying this name on an inside page
