Yasawi’s poems talked about love, faithfulness, and finding spiritual truth. His teachings, based on Anatolian culture, still inspire people looking for wisdom.

The lovers who admired 18 thousand worlds.
The lovers who didn’t expect the beloved and get stupefied.
They turned into ashes and sang like a nightingale because of their love
The lovers who became subjects of whoever they saw.
The ones who wore the belt of wisdom and fell the suffering in their hearts.
The lover who shouted & cried with the pain they had inside them.
The ones who turned pitiable and poor.
the lovers who had their tasbih for only the beloved’s.
Ahmed you fell in love, but keep your wit in loyalty
Ahmed you fell in love, Keep your faith in loyalty.
Be worthy of your lodge, you, dear lovers!

I got on a path with no guidance & I made mistakes
Did the rust heart go away with polish?
My friends, I’ve been a devotee in this road.
My head was frozen.
My mind was confused.
I became terrible in both worlds.
Would the new dawn go down with blindness?
The saints gave up life for this path.
They told zikr in twilight & grieved.
They suffered and drink the poison of this world.
Would comfort be enough for this kind of a lover?

Running water is like human.
Every drop of water runs before them.
Thousands of neurons come from the source.
In the blink of an eye, the brook changes.
You think you are looking at the same brook.
Allah has written a rule for everything will change till the doomsday.
Some will change suddenly & everyone will see it.
Some will be like this rock, being shaped by the water slowly.
No matter if you are rock or the brook, you will change too.
No matter what, do not be still water because you cannot even perform ablution in that.– Turab baba

.Only Allah knows our end.
If he turns us into a lake, we are filled up with water.
If he turns us into a desert, we get parched.
We never complain for both of them.– haje ahmed yasawi

The ruler of 18 thousand worlds, oh Muhammed(ﷺ),
The leader of 33 thousand companions, Oh Mohammed(ﷺ),
Consenting with being poor, Oh humble Muhammed(ﷺ),
Merciful to rebellious people, Oh merciful Muhammed(ﷺ),
Teaching your lazy servant Ahmed, Oh Muhammed(ﷺ),
Helper to the poor people and orphans, Oh kind-hearted Muhammed(ﷺ),
Merciful to rebellious people, Oh merciful Muhammed(ﷺ),
Helping those souls who are in trouble, Oh Muhammed(ﷺ),
Offering good against evil, miracle Muhammed(ﷺ).
Showing the right path to the cruel, Oh Muhammed(ﷺ).

Our prophet Muhammed(ﷺ) was graceful, we will be like him brothers.

I wont be his enemy just because he was mine
If this man isnt your enemy, who is your enemy?
My enemy is inside me.
Its the arrogance smile in my heart after the doctors praise.
Its the amuse in my heart after a compliment.
Its the monster inside me that comes out with positive words.
My nefs is such a big enemy that I have no time left for husreu.

From now on, the danger has been eliminated.
However nejats will be replaced by other nejats.
Betrayal will not be over,
Neither will murder,
Blood will be shed
The ambition for the throne will blind eyes & seal hearts
What we have to do is,
If evil doesn’t end, making sure that goodness doesn’t end either.
If malice doesn’t runout, fairness doesn’t run out, either.
Dynasties will fade away.
Thrones will fade away.
Karahanli will be over.
Selcuklu will be over but the fight for justice , the battles for the truth will not be over.
Mount up so that the crescent is not lowered from the sky.
Light shines on seven climates & three continents.
Your wooden swords will unlock the hearts steel swords couldn’t, I am sure.
Get to Anatolia, to Rumelia. To beyond.
To the east and west. To the north & the south.
Everywhere from the land of deserts to the land of ice caps.
Take the word of Allah, and the greetings of friends with you.
Donot complain, if any obstacle come your way.
Do not gloat if you earn a victory.
Know very well that we are too many to count,
Too strong to be broken.
Our story may remain unknown,
The important thing is, The name of glorious Allah, the mercy of Muhammed Mustefa(ﷺ) is never wiped off from hearts.
