In The Arena of Love Divine


 

​

I Had Been Ignorant Of The Path- By Yunus Emre

(Ben bu yolu bilmez idim)

​
 

I had been ignorant of this path

Now that Love has fallen into my heart

This grieving heart of mine has boiled and overflowed ( with joy).

Those who do not burn this wood, that is Love

Those who ignore the certainty of death

Those whose eyes are open, yet they are not awake,

They move on in ignorance and heedlessness.

This Love was a dream to me

The Truth has made life easy for me

Dervish Yunus is a bird,

That has flown away from the masses.

 

 

Ben bu yolu bilmez idim
Ask gönlüme düstü gider
Ask elinden dertli gönül
Kaynayuben tasti gider
Ask oduna yanmayanlar
Ölecegim sanmayanlar
Göz acip uyanmayanlar
Söyle gaflet basti gider

Bu ask bana bir düs idi
Hak müyesser kilmis idi
Dervis Yúnus bir kus idi
Halk icinden uctu gider

 

(Nikriz)
