Zeynep Hatun--poem
I am a fountain, You are my water
By Zeynep Hatun
(15th Century)
English version by Murat Yagan
I am a fountain, You are my water.
I flow from You to You.
I am an eye, You are my light,
I look from You to You.
You are neither my right nor my left.
You are my foot and my arm as well.
I am a traveler, You are my road.
I go from You to You.
-- from "Women in Sufism: A Hidden Treasure - Writings and Stories of Mystics Poets, Scholars and Saints," Edited by Camille Adams Helminski
