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.

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

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

Aşîk oldum şoy ay yüze nizar oldum bal ağîza
Nazar kîldîm kara göze siyah olun kaşa geldim.
