Yunus Emre dealt with human relations with himself, with things and God, and he also dealt with topics such as death, birth, dedication to life, justice and human love, and all of these topics are considered to be the basis of Sufi thought. There are many stories about the life of Yunus Emre, but the most correct one is that Yunus spent a long time next to the Sufi Sheikh Tabuk Emre, who lived in the Nalihan district in Ankara and reached maturity at that time.
The poems of Yunus Emre, devoted mainly to themes of divine love and human destiny, are distinguished by deep feelings and direct style. Yunus poems were also distinguished by their ability to blend with music in terms of content, form and language, which contributed to the ease of memorization. Skip to content.

This period of utmost unrest and turmoil shaped by all these difficulties which the people of Anatolia suffered, also shaped the remarkable character, the poetry and inner world of Yunus Emre.
Through this terrible time, he spent his entire life trying to establish peace and unity in Anatolia, with both his ideas and his efforts.
In pursuit of this, he traveled extensively among all the local rulers, explaining the significance of unity and peace to them: his great service was to give voice to and stimulate an awareness of these ideals in Anatolia. There is consensus among historians and scholars that the Sakarya Valley is the place where Yunus Emre came into this world. During his youth when Yunus Emre lived with his mother in this village, he found himself in a kind of ghariblik, a strangeness, a sense of otherness which occasionally plunged him into loneliness.
Most of the time, Yunus Emre wandered by himself through vineyards and orchards where he found himself in deep contemplation. He was overwhelmed by the effect of the waterwheel because its groaning actually voiced his own state of otherness, his solitude in this world. In this way, Yunus Emre begun to pile up sorrow within himself for reasons which are unknown. The more his sorrow increased, the lonelier he became in a crowd.
This loneliness, even among other people, was his sole friend; he was now the close friend of those who sorrow. In his village, if someone had sorrow and was in misery, Yunus would visit eagerly to share the sorrow, no matter who the person was.
From that time on, everyone's sorrow, everyone's difficulty turned out to be Yunus Emre's own sorrow. He prayed to the Creator to help those who found this strange affliction in themselves: with his prayers to God Yunus sought a remedy for their sorrow. On the way to Hajji Bektash Veli, Yunus decided he could not arrive there with empty hands, and he picked some wild pears on the Anatolian steppes as a gift for Hajji Bektash. May God not oblige anyone to arrive with empty hands. Hajji Bektash asked Yunus if he would accept a nefes, the secret breath of a blessing, instead of a cartful of grain sacks, but Yunus' mind was on his villagers who were starving.
Later, on his way back to the village, Yunus thought he had probably made a mistake as he began to realize the significance of the nefes Hajji Bektash had offered him. And so Yunus went to Taptuk Emre. It took only a little time for Yunus to find Taptuk Emre, delivering himself with total love to his guide.
Taptuk gave Yunus the duty of carrying wood from the forest to the dergah, the dervish lodge, and Yunus was a very conscientious pupil in his service there.
This means he thought bent or curving pieces of wood were not worthy of the dergah, for which only straight pieces were acceptable. Whenever he returned from the forest Yunus was seen carrying unbent branches of wood to the dergah. However, this scrupulous concern for his duty caused a series of painful injuries to his back, of which Yunus said nothing. Gharib Yunus, strange, secret Yunus, even though his back was covered with the wounds of these injuries, he still delivered the wood.
Because the wounds hurt if he tried to unload one piece at a time, carefully, he would just fling it all to the ground at once. He has to give up this duty and be punished.
