HIS POEMS
In truth everything and everyone
Is a shadow of the Beloved,
And our seeking is His seeking
And our words are His words...
Is a shadow of the Beloved,
And our seeking is His seeking
And our words are His words...
We search for Him here and there,
while looking right at Him.
Sitting by His side, we ask:
'O Beloved, where is the Beloved?'
while looking right at Him.
Sitting by His side, we ask:
'O Beloved, where is the Beloved?'

Patience is the key to joy.
People of the world don't look at themselves, and so they blame one another.
Since in order to speak, one must first listen, learn to speak by listening.
The intelligent want self-control; children want candy.
The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.

My friend, the sufi is the friend of the present moment. To say tomorrow is not our way.
Yunus Emre (1240?–1321?) was a Turkish poet and Sufi mystic. He has exercised great influence on Turkish literature, from his own day until the present. Because Yunus Emre is, after Ahmet Yesevi and Sultan Veled, one of the first known Turkish poets to have composed works in the spoken Turkish of his own age and region rather than in Persian or Arabic, his diction remains very close to the popular speech of his contemporaries in Central and Western Anatolia. This is also the language of a number of anonymous folk-poets, folk-songs, fairy tales, riddles (tekerlemeler), and proverbs.
Like the Oghuz language Book of Dede Korkut, an older and anonymous Central Asian epic, the Turkish folklore that inspired Yunus Emre in his occasional use of tekerlemeler as a poetic device had been handed down orally to him and his contemporaries. This strictly oral tradition continued for a long while.
Following the Mongolian invasion of Anatolia facilitated by the Seljuk Turkish defeat at the 1243 Kösedağ, Islamic mystic literature thrived in Anatolia, and Yunus Emre became one of its most distinguished poets. Poems of Sultan Yunus Emre — despite being fairly simple on the surface — evidence his skill in describing mystical concepts in a clear way. He remains a popular figure in a number of countries, from Azerbaijan to the Balkans. His poems, written in the tradition of Anatolian folk poetry, mainly concern Divine love as well as human destiny.

HIS POEMS
Ask those who know,
what's this soul within the flesh?
Reality's own power.
What blood fills these veins?
Thought is an errand boy,
fear a mine of worries.
These sighs are love's clothing.
Who is the Khan on the throne?
Give thanks for His unity.
He created when nothing existed.
And since we are actually nothing,
what are possessions, houses, shops?
God sent us here
to come and see the world.
This world itself is not everlasting.
What are all of Solomon's riches?
Ask Yunus and Taptuk
what the world means to them.
The world won't last.
What are You? What am I?
