Your love has wrested me away from me,
You're the one I need, you're the one I crave Day and night I burn, gripped by agony, You're the one I need, you're the one I crave I find no great joy being alive, If I cease to exist, I would not grieve, The only solace I have is your love, You're the one I need, you're the one I crave Lover yearn for you, but your love slays them, At the bottom of the sea it lays them, It has God's images - it displays them, You're the one I need, you're the one I crave Even if, at the end they make me die And scatter my ashes up to the sky, My pit would breakrn into this outcry: You're the one I need, you're the one I crave Let me drink the wine of love sip by sip, Like Mecnun, live in the hills in hardship, Day and night, care for you holds me in its grip, You're the one I need, you're the one I crave 'Yunus Emre the mystic' is my name, Each passing day fans and rouses my flame, What I desire in both worlds is the same: You're the one I need, you're the one I crave |
Come, let us all be friends for once
Let us make life easy on us, Let us be lovers and loved ones, The earth shall be left to no one. *** Come here, let's make peace, let's not be strangers to one another. We have saddled the horse and trained it, glory be to God! ****. Mystic is what they call me. Hate is my onlyrn enemy; I harbor a grudge against none. To me the whole wide world is one. ***** The man who doesn't see the nations of worlds as one Is a rebel even if the pious claim he's holy. |
