Mevlana Poem by Nilufer Dursun

Mirror was the face of comrade, saw Mevlana

Cried with the beloved, laughed Mevlana

The best of comrade, who was the darling

Found in the eyes of Sems Mevlana


‘Lie is harmful to heart’ said Mevlana

Found the peace in love Mevlana

Some ones who put themselves, in God’s hands

Reached his desire, with his patience Mevlana



Your water food was soul Mevlana

You were ground pale, because of longing Mevlana

The fire of separation, was melted you

Neither your wise nor patience, remained Mevlana


You became sun, in the love Mevlana

Like water in the generosity, flew Mevlana

Drank the wine, in the glass of love

Became rip burned, in the religious of love Mevlana



Mevlana is the wind, to the hearts of lovers

Far away from, the evil-eyed Mevlana

He was a real soul, to all of the souls

Got excited, with the fire of Sems Mevlana
