WHAT IS THIS WORRY OF YOURS?

---

If you become wise,
What is this attachment of yours

To appearance and the way it seems?

If you find the path of true meaning,

What is this worry of yours?

Let the wealth of the world go now,
Walk on the fires of love,
Keep going to the highest station,

What is this falling back of yours

As you walk along our path?

The wares of this body
Are fire, water, earth and air,
And they all return to their source,

What is this ignorance of yours

About your body's life?

The tavern of love has become
A mosque for every true soul,
You haven't lost a thing, What is this lie of yours About the life of the soul?

You're heading for the hereafter,
So leave this world of illusion behind,
If you are truly a lover,

What is this love of yours for riches,

This love of yours for earth?

You just go on saying
This is mine, this is mine,
Do you have some dispute with God?

Our Sultan hasn't judged your crime,

What is this going astray of yours?

You worry night and day,
And say what can I do
Because I am so poor?
He is ready to give you everything,

He offers you divine food,
What is this worry of yours about food?

Go help the poor and feed them,
Let God feed you if you
Happen to be running short,
One day soon they'll bury
Your body back in the earth, what is

This worry about how much you have left?

Now Yunus, you drank from the beaker
Of love and got drunk,
You used to be separate from God,

But now you are one with Him,

What is this sobriety of yours?
