Onur Unlu Poet Rhyme

I Asked to Yellow Flower

I asked to yellow flower
Do you have father or mother?
Flower says dervish father
Mother and father are ground

I asked to yellow flower
Do you have child or brother?
Flower says dervish father
Child and brother are fruit

I asked to yellow flower
Which sect do you fall under?
Flower says dervish father
Under Ummah of Muhammad we gather

I asked to yellow flower
Is rose your relative?
Flower says dervish father
Rose is Muhammad's lather

I asked to yellow flower
Why is yellow your colour?
Flower says dervish father
Cause we are close to mortal

I asked to yellow flower
Where do you take this color?
Flower says dervish father
From moon and sun's lighter

I asked to yellow flower
Do we know each other?
Flower says dervish father
Aren't you Jonah the lover

God, he is only one and peerless
There is only one God and Allah he is
(Chorus)

Written by Dervish Jonah (Yunus Emre)
Translation Onur Ünlü
