'Lyrics of the work named “Minnet Eylemem“ belong to the famous Ozan Seyyid Nesim. Sayyid Nesimi is a poet who lived in the 14th century and belonged to the Hurifi order. The poem “Minnet Eylemem“ was composed by Feyzullah Çinar. English translated: by Ali Yalçın I don’t have a care for the rose that grows amongst thorns I don’t speak Farsi nor Arabic I am unimpressed by language As my path leads me to the final destination I am not a follower of the path drawn by cruel A strange sorrow has befell me I eat what I gathered today, tomorrow I’m at the grace of the creator I have no desire for these worldly possessions It is the creator who provides for me I’m not indebted to his subjects Hey Nesimi find wealth here while you are a guest Hey Nesimi the most righteous one is a still guest here Even as Ahmed-i Muhtar I will still seek grace It is the benevolent that provides sustenance for all I will not plead to the sultan, the ruler of this earth
