Yunus Emre (1238?–1320?) was a Turkish poet and Sufi mystic He has exercised immense influence on Turkish literature, from his own day until the present Because Yunus Emre is, after Ahmet Yesevi and Sultan Veled, one of the first known Turkish poets to have composed works in the spoken Turkish of his own age and region rather than in Persian or Arabic, his diction remains very close to the popular speech of his contemporaries in Central and Western Anatolia This is also, it should be noted, the language of a number of anonymous folkpoets, folksongs, fairy tales, riddles (tekerlemeler), and proverbs
Like the Oghuz Turkic Book of Dede Korkut, an older and anonymous Central Asian epic, the Turkish folklore that inspired Yunus Emre in his occasional use of tekerlemeler as a poetic device had been handed down orally to him and his contemporaries This strictly oral tradition continued for a long while 1
Following the Mongol invasion of Anatolia facilitated by the Seljuk Turkish defeat at the 1243 Battle of Kose Dağ, Islamic mystic literature thrived in Anatolia, and Yunus Emre became one of its most distinguished poets He is one of the first poets known by name to have composed extensively in the Turkish language, and his poems—despite being fairly simple on the surface—evidence his skill in describing quite abstruse mystical concepts in a clear way He remains a popular figure in a number of countries, stretching from Azerbaijan to the Balkans, with seven different and widely dispersed localities disputing the privilege of having his tomb within their boundaries
His poems, written in the tradition of Anatolian folk poetry, mainly concern ine love and human destiny:
Yunus'durur benim adım
Gun gectikce artar odum
İki cihanda maksUdum
Bana seni gerek seni
