TURKISH POEMS

Yunus Emre

Knowledge is to understand To understand who you are.

If you know not who you are What's the use of learning?

The aim in learning is To understand God's Truth.

Because without knowledge It is wasted hard labor.

Do not say: I know it all, I am obedient to my God.

If you know not who God is That is sheer idle talk.

Twenty-eight syllables You read from end to end.

You name the first `alpha'' What can it possibly mean?

Yunus Emre says also Let me receive what I need.

The best possible thing Is to find perfect peace.

Yunus Emre (?1238-?1320)

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.

  • 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 ***.

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

Sidewalks

I'm in the street, in a street all lonely
Walking, walking and never looking back
At the point my path is mingled with the black
I seem to see a phantom wait for me

Ashen clouds overcast the darkling sky
Lightening bolts seek the chimneys of homes
In this midnight only two who sleepless roam
I here am one and ther

Kuyruklu Siir

Uyusamayiz sevgilim, yollarimiz ayri;
Sen cigercinin kedisi ben sokak kedisi.
Senin yiyecegin kalayli kapta
Benimki aslan agzinda.
Sen ask rüyasi görürsün ben kemik.

Ama seninki de kolay degil, kardesim;
Kolay degil hani,
Böyle kuyruk sallamak Tanrinin günü.

Memleket Isterim

Memleket isterim
Gök mavi, dal yesil, tarla sari olsun;
Kuslarin çiceklerin diyari olsun.

Memleket isterim
Ne basta dert ne gönülde hasret olsun;
Kardes kavgasina bir nihayet olsun.

Memleket isterim
Ne zengin fakir ne sen ben farki olsun;
Kis günü herkesin evi barki olsun.

Memleket iste

BEDAVA

Bedava yasiyoruz, bedava;
Hava bedava, bulut bedava;
Dere tepe bedava;

Yagmur çamur bedava;
Otomobillerin disi,
Sinemalarin kapisi,
Camekanlar bedava;
Peynir ekmek degil ama
Aci su bedava;

Kelle fiyatina hürriyet,
Esirlik bedava;

Hikaye

Senin dudaklarin pembe
Ellerin beyaz,
Al tut ellerimi bebek
Tut biraz!

Benim dogdugum köylerde
Ceviz agaçlari yoktu,
Ben bu yüzden serinlige hasretim
Oksa biraz!

Benim dogdugum köylerde
Bugday tarlalari yoktu,
Dagit saçlarini bebek
Savur biraz!

Benim dogdugum köyleri
Aksamlari

BAYRAK

Ey,mavi göklerin beyaz ve kizil süsü,
Kizkardesimin gelinligi,sehidimin son örtüsü !
Isik isik, dalga dalga bayragim,
Senin destanini okudum, senin destanini yazacagim.

Sana benim gözümle bakmayanin
Mezarini kazacagim.
Seni selamlamadan uçan kusun
Yuvasini bozacagim.

Dalgalandigin yerde ne korku, ne keder.

Anlatamiyorum

Aglasam sesimi duyar misiniz,
Misralarimda;
Dokunabilir misiniz,
Gözyaslarima, ellerinizle?
Bilmezdim sarkilarin bu kadar güzel,
Kelimelerinse kifayetsiz oldugunu
Bu derde düsmeden önce.
Bir yer var, biliyorum;
Her seyi söylemek mümkün;

Epeyce yaklasmisim, duyuyorum;
Analatamiyorum...

Yunus Emre

Ilim ilim bilmektir ilim kendin bilmektir

Sen kendini bilmezsen ya nice okumaktir

Okumaktan ma'ni ne kisi Hakk'i bilmektir

Cun okudun bilmezsin ha bir kuru emektir

Okudum bildim deme *** taat kildim deme

Eri Hak bilmez isen abes yere yelmektir

Dort kitabin ma'nisi tamamdir bir elifte

Sen elif dersin hoca ma
