Springtime Devotions To Remember The Truth - By AÅŸkî
(Lâleler güller)
Reflections
Remember the Truth as Spring is an ideal time for devotions. Nature provides much nourishment for contemplation on the Absolute Truth. The songs speak of the appearance of flowers such as tulips, roses, jonquils and hyacinths during spring time. The nightingales sing. All of them seem to revolve with and in truth. So, lovers of the divine are advised not to indulge in sleep, instead, to wake up to the world and burn one’s inner organs, with love and revolve with, and in the truth. Nature is in the zikr mode, so it is ideal to wear the crown of love and listen to the wailing sound of the ney. After prostrating to the manifestation of the divine as revealed in nature, one should repent and stay away from temptations. Then the nights will be fulfilled. Physical work is encouraged. One is cautioned to be safe and away from temptations during the day and to be aware of the divine even at night. Allah’s omnipresence should be remembered, always. Poet Ashki’s love will be there always too. Revolve thus, with and in the truth.
Lâleler güller, Fulya sünbüller, Öten bülbüller, Hakk'ı zikreyle
Âşık yatma kalk ,Kâinâta bak, AÅŸkla ciÄŸer yak, Hakk'ı zikreyle
Zikirde her ÅŸey, Feryâd eder ney, AÅŸk tâcını gey, Hakk'ı zikreyle
Zâhid secdede, Meczûb cezbede, Mü'min tövbede, Hakk'ı zikreyle
Âyetlere bak, Kalbin olsun ak, Geceler mutlak, Hakk'ı zikreyle
Ellerin işde, Kalma teşvişde, Gelsene işte, Hakk'ı zikreyle
Gündüzü sâim, Gece ol kâim, Zâkir ol dâim, Hakk'ı zikreyle
Allah'dır dâim, Her ÅŸeyde kâim ,AÅŸkî sen dâim, Hakk'ı zikreyle
