All men in the whole wide world adore Him whom we adore; <br />How could we deny entry, it's a road or open door? <br /> <br />Whatever, whomever we love, our Loved One also loves; <br />Can the friend of our Friend have something to doubt or abhor? <br /> <br />If you are a true lover, befriend the friend of the Friend; <br />You would be unfair to your Friend if you stay as you are. <br /> <br />If you truly love, sacrifice yourself to all nations <br />So that you may be seen as faithful by the lovers' corps. <br /> <br />If you are God's true lover, He will open doors for you; <br />Give up your pride and tear down your crass selfhood to the core. <br /> <br />Leader and led, meek and rebel, they are all slaves of God; <br />How can you say to a man: 'Leave your house, come out of there.' <br /> <br />The fact Yunus knows is a word from a hidden treasure: <br />The Friend's lovers pay no heed to this world or the other.<br /><br />Yunus Emre<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-men-in-the-whole-wide-world-adore-him-whom-we-adore/
