Browse all poems and texts published on Yunus Emre His poems, written in the tradition of turkish folk poetry, mainly concern divine love as well as human destiny.

He remains a popular figure in a number of countries, stretching from Azerbaijan to the Balkans, with seven different and widely dispersed localities disputing the privilege of having his tomb within their boundaries. Poems of Sultan Yunus Emre - despite being fairly simple on the surface - evidence his skill in describing quite abstruse mystical concepts in a clear way. Because Yunus Emre is, after Ahmet Yesevi and Sultan Walad, one of the first known poets to have composed works in the spoken Turkish of his own age and region rather than in Persian or Arabic, his diction remains very close to the popular speech of his contemporaries in Central and Western Anatolia. He has exercised immense influence on Turkish literature, from his own day until the present.
