Paroles et traduction Mesut Kurtis - Derman Arardım Derdime

Derman Arardım Derdime

Derman arardım derdime derdim bana derman imiş
Burhan sorardım aslıma aslım bana burhan imiş
Savm u salat u haccile sanma biter zahid işin
İnsan-ı Kamil olmağa lazım olan irfan imiş

I sought a cure for my pain

I sought a cure for my pain, but my pain itself was the cure
I sought proof of my essence, but my essence itself was the proof
Don't think that with fasting, prayer, and pilgrimage, the ascetic's work is done
To become a Perfect Human, what is needed is gnosis (spiritual knowledge)
