In The Arena of Love Divine
​
I asked the yellow flower-Yunus Emre
I asked the yellow flower.
Do you have a mother and a father?
The flower replied,
“Father Dervish, my mother and father is the Earth (soil).”
I asked the yellow flower.
Do you have children or siblings?
“Father Dervish, my children and siblings are the leaves.”
I asked the yellow flower.
Why is your neck bowed?
The flower replied:
“Father Dervish, my essence is bent low to the Truth.”
I asked the yellow flower.
Why is your face pale yellow?
The flower replied:
“Father Dervish, because death is closeby.”
I asked the yellow flower.
Does death await you too?
The flower replied:
“Father Dervish,is anyone free from death ?”
I asked the yellow flower.
Do you know who I am?
The flower replied
“Father Dervish, are you not Yunus?”
Sordum sarı çiçeÄŸe
Annen baban var mıdır?
Çiçek eydur derviÅŸ baba,
Annem babam topraktır.
Sordum sarı çiçeÄŸe,
Evlat kardeş var mıdır?
Çiçek eydur derviÅŸ baba,
Evlat kardeş yapraktır.
Sordum sarı çiçeÄŸe,
Niçin boynun eÄŸridir?
Çiçek eydur derviÅŸ baba,
Özüm Hakkâ doÄŸrudur.
Sordum sarı çiçeÄŸe,
Niçin benzin sarıdır?
Çiçek eydur derviÅŸ baba,
Ölüm bize yakındır.
Sordum sarı çiçeÄŸe,
Sen beni bilir misin?
Çiçek der derviÅŸ baba,
Sen YUNUS deÄŸil misin?
