If Only My Rich God Grants
If only my Rich God grants
Let me arrive crying and crying
If only Muhammad at the Madina
Let me sight crying and crying
If only his hands stick to mine
If only he teach Labbeyk to my mind
If only cloth of Ihram to my loin
Let me wrap crying and crying
Pilgrims revolve again and again
My lungs transformed to pure flame
If only from that water of Zamzam
Let me quaff crying and crying
Jonah the Lover tells with his soul
I became servant with faith as a whole
At my tongue with Quran praising the Lord
Let me arrive crying and crying
Written by Yunus Emre (Dervish Jonah)
Translated by Onur Ünlü
