Kaygusuz Abdal

Go, go, O heart; I have begun to reveal my hidden secret. Love has come upon me, I cannot be patient, I am helpless.

Var var ey gönül gizli râzımı açar oldum / Aşk geldi başa sabr edemezem nâçâr oldum

Kaygusuz Abdal, Divân -Seçmeler-, ed. Mustafa Sever, Ankara: Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı Yayınları, 2014, pp. 118-119.

Go now, O heart, says Kaygusuz.
Nothing is left to hide.

The whole book
walked with a hidden treasure.
Here what was hidden opens.

The one who keeps the door shut
is seldom standing outside.
It is a person's own resistance.

When resistance ends,
the one who opens is no longer the person.
Love has come.
Patience is spent.
