Lovers Never Die by Yunus Emre


Lovers Never Die

by Yunus Emre 


God couldn’t be found

By this mind and thought

What kind of a wound is that

No ointment could be found


A cure could be found

For the trouble of the public

No cure for my trouble

Could be found


I wander around the seas

Without water

No ocean to satisfy me

Could be found


Hearts are sold

In the bazaar of Love

I sell my heart

No buyers could be found


They announce from the mosque

As Yunus has died

Only animals die

Lovers never


 (Translated from Turkish by Serkan Engin)
