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 ***'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 break 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 [5] One constant theme in Yunus' poetry is Love, that of *** for man and, therefore, of man for ***. Yunus' love is the most powerful of everything, it is for the creator of the universe but it is also the creator, it is fierce and burning, consuming Yunus' mere existence. Yunus is like Mecnun, "the mad man of Love" who suffered , appear to have gone mad, and died just for the love of Leyla.
