The great mystic and the priestess

She was perturbed. She thought the only thing that could protect her was her prayers. He thought that her silly superstitions and worries would fade away. She had the ability to survive any circumstance, especially when left without a choice. She had the endurance and resilience of a good human being. She wanted to start […]

The only solution to human pain and suffering

Love is concurrent with universe—its formation, its presence and its future.  Love is the infinite, the dimension into which one can shift; however, one can never have a conscious, intellectual experience of it because the Love dimension is beyond logic and reason. In religious terms, Love is like the breath of Allah (God); you may […]

The purpose of religion in human life

What I have personally experienced and observed is that the purest and most adored knowledge, poetry and artistic creativity have been inspired by signs from the divine. When we look deeply into western philosophy, we often find that individuals have, in essence, re-processed religious texts using different words, thereby removing the core of the divine […]

VUSLAT

Kulak verince aşkın titreşimlerine Aşk’ı var edenin kelamıydı duyduğum Ya Vedûd ve Ya Rauf! Hangi dil söyler uzak olduğunu? Hayal âlemi gibi ulaşılmaz olduğunu kim söyler? Uzaksan eğer sen Kim bu beni güldüren? Ağlatan, Yüreğimi ısıtan, Bana bu şiiri okutan… Bana yâr diye yarattığın sevdiğimin Sadece kokusuyla erir gibi uysallaştıran kim? Beni güçlü ve yenilmez […]

The Home

Listened to the voice of love. Listened to the voice of the beloved. O lover and O beloved, Who says you are distant? Who says you are far away? Who is this that makes me laugh? Who is this that makes me cry? Who is this that warms my heart? Who is this that makes […]

The voyage through the prism

It was fate that led us through desert sands In full moonlight Where inspired dreams on mountains Floated us toward distant stars The poetry of my fate pierces through prisms of awakened souls, Triumphant in the language of souls in the presence of true witnesses The whole world has become a place of exile in […]

A king questions a sufi

A ragged pilgrim of the sufis’ Way By chance met with a king, and heard him say: “Who’s better, me or you?”  The old man said: “Silence, your words are empty as your head! Although self-praise is not our normal rule (The man who loves himself is still a fool), I’ll tell you, since I […]

Dies, o mein Geliebter, ist meine Dichtkunst

-  diese Verse sind dem Geliebten gewidmet – Oh kleines Menschen-ich Hast du Mich erblickt? Im Himmelsdom der Leidenschaft Im Großen Meer der Liebeskraft Tief im Herzen des Geliebten* Oh Nachtigallen, was wären Rosen ohne eure süßen Lieder?

The Temple

The Beloved’s gaze piercing through paradise, Her face shining, a radiant beauty, The beauty of the full moon, Leaps, like the crescent moon, Touched her pitch dark silken hair, My conscience is cleansed by each touch, Vitalized by the soul of souls, Bowed to the Light, in preparation for eternity In the heaven of her […]

Hiçlik Mabedi

Yilmaz Alimoglu 9 Şubat, 2012 Sevgili’nin bakışları ta Cennet’e sızıyor, Yüzü nur dolu, ışık saçıyor güzelliği, Dolunayın cemali, Aniden yükseliyor, hilal misali, Dokunuyor saçlarına, zifiri karanlıkta, Her dokunuşuyla temizleniyor vicdanım, Canlanıyor, Ruhlara ruh verenin ruhuyla, Sonsuzluğa hazırlıkla Boyun eğiyor Nur’a Gönlündeki cennette Kapanıyor gözlerim Aşkım akıveriyor onun kalbine Hissediyor, sıcaklığını ve derinliğini Heyecanlanıyorum, ürperiyorum adeta, […]
