Life of mine, you led me astray;
\nWhat shall I do with you, my life?
\nYou left me paralyzed this way;
\nWhat shall I do with you, my life?<\/p>\n
You were all I was and had, all:
\nYou were the soul within my soul.
\nMy Sultan, I was in your thrall.
\nWhat shall I do with you, my life?<\/p>\n
With your joys my heart used to glow,
\nLike mountain flowers, row on row…
\nI used to weep, gripped by sorrow.
\nWhat shall I do with you, my life?<\/p>\n
After coming here, the soul flies;
\nAffairs of the world are all lies.
\nWhoever squanders his life, cries.
\nWhat shall I do with you, my life?<\/p>\n
My deeds are written, good and bad;
\nNearing my life’s end, I am sad;
\nThe face wrecks the features it had.
\nWhat shall I do with you, my life?<\/p>\n
I wish you would not grab and run
\nNor be the nomad who moves on.
\nI wish you would not drink death’s wine.
\nWhat shall I do with you, my life?<\/p>\n
I’ll be left without you some day;
\nBird and beast will eat me away;
\nI’ll turn to dust as I decay.
\nWhat shall I do with you, my life?<\/p>\n
Dervish Yunus, you know, don’t you,
\nOr don’t they come into your view?
\nRemember those whose lives are through?
