He was a Turcoman dervish who lived in last quarter of the thirteenth century and the early part of the fourteenth century. These years coincide with the ending of the Seljuk Period and the foundations of the Ottoman Empire. Many cities were established at that time, and many of them had become scientific and cultural centers in the Anatolian Seljuk Period.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Mongolian invasion and the subsequent depravations lead the people of Anatolia into poverty and despair. This difficult period could be left behind through the collective efforts of great sufi leaders such as Mevlana, Hac\u0131 Bekta\u015fl-i Veli and Hac\u0131 Bayram Veli.<\/p>\n<p>Yunus Emre was born in 1240 in Sar\u0131k\u00f6y (today named as the town of Yunus Emre) located between Mihal\u0131\u00e7\u00e7\u0131k and Sivrihisar. He used various pseudonyms, such as A\u015f\u0131k Yunus (Yunus the Lover), Bi\u00e7are Yunus (Yunus the Helpless), Koca Yunus (Old Yunus), Dervish Yunus, Yunus Emrem and Miskin Yunus (Yunus the Miserable).<\/p>\n<p>His poems imply that he received his education in Konya. He was well educated in the Arabic and Persian Languages, which were the official languages of his period, and Islamic sciences.<\/p>\n<h2>His Selected Poems:<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yunus Emre is a great figure who has made a deep influence on Turkish literature, culture and view of life.
