More quotes by Yunus Emre

Lover's heart and eye will have gone toward the beloved.
Let me render my heart a slave, it may happen that I join the beloved.

I came to this world (as a ) stranger, I am tried of this land.
The time has come that I break this trap of enslavement.

My name is Yunus,
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

Two Persons talk, saying "Would that I see Yunus
One [of them] says, "I saw, he is [only] an eminent lover.

Yunus'dur benim adım
Gün geçtikçe artar odum
İki cihanda maksûdum
Bana seni gerek seni.
