Let Me Invite You Lord

With the mountains with the stones
Let me invite you Lord (Allah)
At the dawns with the birds
Let me invite you Lord

At the deep of water with the fishes
At the deserts with the roes
As a dervish by your name
Let me invite you Lord

At the sky by Jesus
At the montane by Moses
With the baton at my palm
Let me invite you Lord

In the sorrows by Prophet Job
Drops in eyes by Prophet Jacob
With the Muhammad beloved
Let me invite you Lord

By gratitude by praise
By your attribute indivise
Remembering you always
Let me invite you Lord

I know the world's case
I left the words and wares
Head open and barefoot
Let me invite you Lord

Jonah recites with tongues
With nighingales and doves
By God lover slaves
Let me invite you Lord


Written by Dervish Jonah (Yunus Emre)
