There are tens of books about Yunus Emre’s poems, his ideas and other works. Below you will see one of his most favourite quote:
Your love has wrested me away from me,
You’re the one I need, you’re the one I crave
Day and night I burn, gripped by agony,
You’re the one I need, you’re the one I crave
I find no great joy being alive,
If I cease to exist, I would not grieve,
The only solace I have is your love,
You’re the one I need, you’re the one I crave
Lover yearn for you, but your love slays them,
At the bottom of the sea it lays them,
It has God’s images – it displays them,
You’re the one I need, you’re the one I crave
Even if, at the end they make me die
And scatter my ashes up to the sky,
My pit would break into this outcry:
You’re the one I need, you’re the one I crave
Let me drink the wine of love sip by sip,
Like Mecnun, live in the hills in hardship,
Day and night, care for you holds me in its grip,
You’re the one I need, you’re the one I crave
‘Yunus Emre the mystic’ is my name,
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
Aşkın aldı benden beni
Bana seni gerek seni
Ben yanarım dünü günü
Bana seni gerek seni
Ne varlığa sevinirim
Ne yokluğa yerinirim
Aşkın ile avunurum
Bana seni gerek seni
Aşkın aşıklar öldürür
Aşk denizine daldırır
Tecelli ile doldurur
Bana seni gerek seni
Aşkın şarabından içem
Mecnun olup dağa düşem
Sensin dünü gün endişem
Bana seni gerek seni
Süfilere sohbet gerek
Ahilere ahret gerek
Mecnunlara Leyla gerek
Bana seni gerek seni
Eğer beni öldürseler
Külüm göğe savuralar
Toprağım ana çagıra
Bana seni gerek seni
Yunus’durur benim adım
Gün geçtikçe artar odum
İki cihanda maksudum
Bana seni gerek seni
