Ottoman Poetry – Ashiq Pasha

Ashiq Pasha from the ‘Ashiq Pasha Diwani’

All the Universe, one mighty sign, is shown;
God hath myriads of creative acts unknown :
None hath seen them, of the races of jinn and men,
None hath news brought from that realm far off from ken.
Never shall they mind or reason reach that strand,
Nor can tongue the King’s name utter of that land.
Since ’tis His each nothingness with life to vest,
Trouble is there ne’er at all to His behest.
Eighteen thousand worlds, from end to end,
Do not with Him one atom’s worth transcend
