The World is Filled with Truth
The world is filled with Truth,
No one knows Truth,
Seek Him for yourself,
She cannot be separated from you.
If you believe the world,
You say that bread is mine.
Why do you lie?
It does not happen as you describe.
The afterlife is far away,
Here on earth we must live upright,
Separation is hard and distant,
No one comes back once they are gone.
Those who come to the world will go,
Each drinks their sherbet one by one,
This is a bridge, we cross it,
Those unaware do not recognise it.
Come, let us meet,
Let us make the job easier,
Let us love and be loved,
Not one of us will inherit the earth.
If you understand the words of Yunus,
If you understand the meaning,
You need to act,
No one stays in this world.
“Yunus Emre (1238–1320 CE)
Anatolian poet and mystic.
