Come and See What Has Happened to Us Yunus Emre!

We have turned to narrow straits in narrow thinking; In this age we eat our brains. Our passion is executed by firing squads And we worship material as a savior In the name of civilization.

As we have begun to forget our innerselves, The thoughts that color our feelings Turned us into stones; Come and see what has happened!

If your 'nefes' spread to our world, It would heal the blinded eye of passion. If your voice found a way to enter us, Our gratitude for being human Would be a crown upon our heads.

In inanimate souls the bells cry For the name of science. It emptied us. Come and see what has happened!

What if I climbed the summits; To ask which horizons showed Yunus Emre The branches of the trees of Paradise on the Paradise of Earth? What if I enter every day with news of friendship? What if I would not think every day as a new trap?

Now friendship, independence. For the sake of humanity, groups of robots Turned our passion into winter. Come and see what has happened!
