1E refrain
The follower of the way of the prophets, Ahmet er-Rıfa’i I am committed to the word I have given I am the solution to all the world’s problems To the unbelievers, I am faith Ahmed er-Rıfa’i Be with me with loyalty Cry in the morning We’ll catch up to you everywhere Ahmed er-Rıfa’i
The path is the source of my pleasure It is my sanctuary Ahmed er-Rıfa’i The Sultan of the Friends of Allah 3E I love you from inside my soul I have a path that is inside erkân
Reality and the station of knowing are deeper than those Solomon knew the language of the birds, they say There is a Solomon inside Solomon (the subtle body) Don’t ask of me, I am not me There is an I in me that is inside me My strength is cut, my knees are without strength There is a path that is far above religion I have burned so much that the words of Yunus have turned to ashes There is a servant at the door inside of the Sultan Erkân: the way to bring Allah’s orders into being I Love You from Inside My Soul 4E Welcome to the High Ruler, welcome! Welcome to the Source (the mine) of knowledge, welcome
Welcome to Ali! Welcome to those of the lineage of the Prophet Welcome to the beautiful friends of the Prophet who have found peace! Welcome to the Twelve Imams! Welcome to the father of the two flags Welcome to all of them from Hilkat With this merhaba we have found this rising to Allah Mustafa: chosen Mürteza: one with whom Allah is content Mücteba: those who follow the way of the Prophet Father of the two flags: Ahmed er-Rıfa'i, who was descended from the Prophet on both sides, and Kutub, or Pole, twice Hilkati: the pen-name of the author
Welcome! 5E Oh, Messenger of God Oh, Beloved of God Oh, Prophet Oh, Intercessor of Allah Blessings be upon him, Muhammed Inner peace and blessings May my life be sacrificed for your road His name is beautiful and he is beautiful, Muhammed Come intercede for your unworthy servant His name is beautiful and he is beautiful, Muhammed
In the next world will come pleasure and comfort The Mustafa of eighteen thousand worlds, His name is beautiful and he is beautiful, Muhammed Yunus says, what would I do with the universe without you? You are the Truth, Prophet, without second thought or doubt Those who do not believe in you will migrate without faith His name is beautiful and he is beautiful, Muhammed Mustafa: chosen
May My Life Be Sacrificed 6E refrain
La ilahe illa ‘llah 3x With your ashk let lovers burn Burning up, ya Resul’allah Drinking wine of love Quenching, ya Resul’allah
Will give their heads to your road The Sun of the two worlds Are you, ya Resul’allah For the ones who love you You intercede For the ones who believe You are life, ya Resul’allah Aşik Yunus’ own soul Knows of your intercession Sultan of creation Are you, ya Resul’allah Ashk: eternal love Resulallah: the Prophet Muhammed, Messenger of Allah
With Your Ashk Let Lovers Burn 7E refrain
You can’t find your way to Hak Hu Mevla Hu Mevla Give your Ashk to us Mevla The dervish chest should be made of stone The dervish eyes should be full of tears Dervishes should be gentler than sheep If you don’t arrive to rightness If you don’t rise to your Murshid If Hak doesn’t make it your way
To the curser be without tongue The dervish must be without desire
Dive into the ocean now If you don’t dive into the ocean Hak: Truth Mevla: Lord Ashk: endless love Murshid: spiritual teacher
The Dervish Chest Should Be Made of Stone 8E I have come from the everlasting land What would I do with this world here that dies? I have reveled in the face of the Friend Why would I need houris from Paradise?
The wine of Oneness with its mysteries I am so full of the scent of the Friend, Why would I need the sweet basil's fragrance? I have abandoned the world, like Jesus So I journey far and wide through skies Having seen the Divine Face, like Moses What does it mean to me to be sightless? Like Ishmael, I am to sacrifice My life and soul for God’s truth and justice I have surrendered myself to Thy hands Why would I need a ram to sacrifice? Union with that Beloved of his Gives Yunus the lover his ecstasies I have smashed the bottle against the stones What would I do with honor and prudence? I Have Come from the Everlasting Place 9E Eyvallah, my Shah, eyvallah Hak la ilahe illa ‘llah Eyvallah, my Pir, eyvallah Ah adı gűzel, gűzel Shah Our Pir came to us today With his roses fresh he came His Kamber in front of him Ali el Murteza just came Ali is our Shah we know Our Kaaba and our Kiblah, too And Muhammed in miraj His is our Shah of all Shahs My Pir sees between the lines As he reads from black and white Separated from my Pir I have been one thousand years They made us fall out and drift Rubbed salt in our wounds as well From Fasli a servant came They sold him in the marketplace They sold him in the marketplace From Gűlistan his sweet voice came Hazreti Muhammed’s seal Was hidden in the Lion’s veil Pir: founding saint of a sufi order Kamber: the servant of Hazreti Ali Shah: king Kaaba: the place of worship first built by Prophet Abraham Kiblah: the direction that all Muslims must turn for worship; the human heart Miraj: ascension Our Pir Came to Us Today 10E Come, come, let us burn For the fire of Love Let us stoke the flames In the fire of Love
Don’t rot in the ground The one who doesn’t burn Can’t know the fire of Love Those who give their beings Will attain their nothingness I am burned, Erenler In the fire of Love Seyyid Nesimi Left behind formality Cause to burn this body In the fire of Love Come, Come, Let Us Burn 11E Is my life all gone Am I just a ruin Have I spent my mind Gone around the bend?
Turning round and round Burning up my pride Am I a moth in flight? My eyes are full of tears My knees shake and bend I’m following Your road Am I a drunken soul? Aşki gives his life If he does, so what? Ashk’’s arrow’s on the bow Am I a violin? Is My Life All Gone? 12E Translation/explanation In Rum and Acem (in the east and in the west), I am in love with you From the land of Yemen, Veysel Kerâni The lover of Allah called Veysel Kerâni his soul-mate From the land of Yemen, Veysel Kerâni Born of his mother, the angels attended his birth Because he came from the Divine Light (Nur), He received the mantle of the Prophet, which symbolizes spiritual Inheritance. He was first among the saints, the Erenler In a vision, the Prophet tied a belt around his waist, meaning, You are of my descendants. (If you grab hold of Erenler’s road tightly, listen to no one; Knowledge will come to you.)
Let us become more in ashk with his Ashk. Let us live in his Ashk. To stroke our faces in the dust of his feet is to ask Allah to receive the knowledge that he received. Where is this dust? It is on the Path. Let us be one with our neighbors. From the land of Yemen, Veysel Kerâni Veysel Kerâni greatly desired to travel to Medina from Yemen to meet the Prophet Muhammed, peace and blessings be upon him, but his old mother wanted him to stay home and take care of her. She gave him permission to go on the condition that as soon as he got to the Prophet’s house, he would turn around and come right back without going any place else. The Prophet happened to be out when he arrived. He was obedient to the promise he had made to his mother and never did meet the Prophet. For his love for the Prophet and his filial piety, his spiritual station was elevated. He received his initiation into sainthood in a purely spiritual way, without a face-to-face meeting. When a sufi receives, by the grace of God, a spiritual initiation without contact with a shaykh, he is said to be an “uwaysi.” Veysel Kerâni 13E My words never stop They say, “Allah, Allah” The life force in my body Say, “Allah, Allah”
In hardship, at all times The hunger for the Beauty Says, “Allah, Allah” Don’t be, Kuddusi, Following all you see The lovers of the Truth Say, “Allah, Allah” My Words Never Stop 14E One night as I lay down in my journey “Do not sleep,” says to me Mevla, Sultan Enbiya “Don’t lie down,” says to me Mevla, Sultan Enbiya What I see, is it a dream, or is it illusion? “Do not sleep,” says to me Mevla, Sultan Enbiya “Never lie down,” says to me Mevla, Sultan Enbiya
Without proof you can’t go. Allah! The roads are very dangerous. My proof is the Quran, my Pir is Rıfa’i “Rise, don’t sleep,” says to me Mevla, Sultan Enbiya “Never lie down,” says to me Mevla, Sultan Enbiya Is it Yunus who says, “The world is just a lie?” Don’t depend on your belongings They are only plunder For the lover, in the dawn, sleeping in forbidden “Do not sleep,” says to me Mevla, Sultan Enbiya “Never lie down,” says to me Mevla, Sultan Enbiya One Night as I Lay Down 16E Roses and hyacinths Nightingales singing Hearts that are burning Longing for Mevla
Are moaning with your ashk These hearts, gone crazy Longing for Mevla Hu, say the seeking hearts Lovers within this life Those burning with your ashk Longing for Mevla Just like a turning moth, Watch where I’m flying Drunk on the Lover Longing for Mevla Give me your hand I bow to you My heart, while burning, Longing for Mevla Zikr does zakir Shukur does shakir Ashki, this fakir, Longing for Mevla Roses and Hyacinths 17E In the dawn time of the morning I saw Ali, I saw Ali Rubbed my face against his knee I saw Ali, I saw Ali 3x Rubbed my face against his knee I saw Ali, I saw Ali 2x
Forty candles in a bottle burning In seven climates and four corners I saw Ali, I saw Ali In seven climates and four corners I saw Ali, I saw Ali In the Dawn Time of the Morning 18E The sohbets of Erenler Are not always to be had Those who come with decisive will Won’t be stranded without hand
Decisive will is what one needs To open the eyes and to see the Face With these stones to a jeweler you go The thankless ones will never know
Of a fountain flowing strong If it sits there forty year By itself it never fills Űmmi Sinan showed the way For the dervish is the road More important than the robe Sohbet: inspired spiritual discourse Erenler: those who have attained the highest level of spirituality
The Sohbets of Erenler 20E Offerings are ready, gülbenk has been said From the sleep of heedlessness, I have awakened Four doors have been opened, banners have been raised Whirling, turning I have come, to be in this meydan
They opened the door and let me in, where I shed my tears On the path of Erenler, see how I struggle on I have come to lay my life down as a kurban The opening of our path is the Twelve Imams My murshid is Muhammed Ahmed-i Muhtar My rehber is Ali, Sahib Zülfikar Your humble servant Shahiya has come to this divan To Hünkar Bektash Veli, I've come to this divan
Offerings are Ready 21E refrain
Allah, Allah, Allah With this mind and these thoughts Mevla cannot be found What kind of gaping wound is this? There’s no ointment to be found
Are solutions to be found For this problem here of mine No solutions can be found In the marketplace of ashk Life is bought and life is sold My life is up for sale But no buyers can be found Inside waters wide and deep To fill me a body of Water cannot be found They say Yunus is dead They recite salawat It’s the animal that died Those in ashk never die Mevla: Lord Ashk: endless love Salawat: A prayer that the blessings and peace of Allah be bestowed upon the Prophet Muhammed and his family With This Mind 22E refrain
Oh Friend, Friend! Let us form our circle and go round and round Oh, me Let’s not lament, moan in regret Let’s invoke Allah La ilahe illa ‘llah La ilahe illa ‘llah La ilahe illa ‘llah Hu Let us perform the rites of the faithful The moth is our guide; follow it around To burn in the flames of Love once and for all Days pass and nights pass; their flow is unceasing Your life, your one asset, will soon be gone Look how nightingales all shriek in distress Bloom, O rosebud, it’s late in the season Oh traveler, heed what I have to say: The caravan moves on, you should not stay. Joseph, loveliest of all here on Earth Conquered the heart and soared to Allah today. Let Us Perform the Rites of the Faithful 23E For the remedy for their suffering Let them come Those who want the Beloved for their life Let them come
We attain the Beloved The ones who wish union with Rahman Let them come Our school Is the school of the Esmas Those who wish enlightenment for their knowledge, Let them come We have crossed the seven levels Of the highest Heavens Those who wish to journey beyond the Last Boundary, Let them come As sacrifice, Offer your life, Sami Those who wish an edict to their command, Let them come Last Boundary: the farthest tree beyond which the Archangel Gabriel could not guide the Prophet Muhammed during his ascension through the seven levels to the presence of Allah. Esma: one of the beautiful attributes or names of Allah For the Remedy for Their Suffering 24E I held a mirror up to my face I saw Ali look back at me I took a look at my true being I saw Ali look back at me
With the knowledge of the Names And the constant sema whirling I saw Ali look back at me Hazreti Nuh Nejiullah And Ibrahim Halilullah In Sinai Kelimullah I saw Ali look back at me Isa, Ruhullah is he In both worlds the ruler is he For the believers salvation is he I saw Ali look back at me I Held a Mirror up to My Face li: the exalted one, the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammed Sema: the movement of the heavens Hazreti: saint Nuh: Noah Nejiullah: one who finds salvation from Allah, the deliverer who leads to salvation Ibrahim: Abraham Halilullah: one who is befriended by Allah Kelimullah: the word of Allah; one who converses with Allah Isa: Jesus Ruhullah: the spirit of Allah Evvel, Ahir: The First, The Last Batin, Zahir: The Hidden One, the Manifest One Tayyip: the beautifully fragranced one; one of the names of the Prophet Muhammed Jan: life force Janan: enlightened life Din: religion Iman: faith Rahim: the all-Beneficent One Rahman: the All-Merciful One.

Ali is din Ali, Iman Ali Rahim Ali, Rahman I saw Ali look back at me Hilmi Gedayi, your servant My eyes see, and my tongue says Everywhere that my gaze reached I saw Ali look back at me 25E I watched and got burned by your beauty Laying swaddled in light, Oh Muhammed You are the life force of my life, Oh Muhammed Your scent resembles the Rose of Paradise Laying swaddled in light, Oh Muhammed You are the life force of my life, Oh Muhammed
With his whole heart he does the zikr of Allah Even when he was a child his people listened to him Laying swaddled in light, Oh Muhammed You are the life force of my life, Oh Muhammed
