I AM BEFORE, I AM AFTER karya : Yunus Emre

I made the ground flat where it lies,

On it I had those mountains rise,

I designed the vault of the skies,

For I hold all things in my sway.

 

To countless lovers I have been

A guide for faith and religion.

I am sacrilege in men's hearts

Also the true faith and Islam's way.

 

I make men love peace and unite;

Putting down the black words on white,

I wrote the four holy books right

I'm the Koran for those who pray.

 

It's not Yunus who says all this:

It speaks its own realities:

To doubt this would be blasphemous:

"I'm before-I'm after," I say.
