"On dokuz yasimda, kendi girisimimle ve masraflarini kendim ustlenerek bir ordu kurdum. / All’età di diciannove anni, di mia iniziativa e a mie spese, misi insieme un esercito."



“Sehri (Roma) tuglalar icinde buldum, mermerler icinde birakiyorum. / Marmoream relinquo, quam latericiam accepi. / I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble.”

Osmanli gezgini Evliya Celebi, elli yil surecek seyahatlerine 19 Agustos 1630'da basladi.



"Ben bu degersiz yani Dervis Mehmed Zilli oglu yani Evliya, dogdugum sehir olan Istanbul’da 1040 yili Muharreminin asura gecesi (19 Agustos 1630) ruyada kendimi Yemis iskelesi civarında helal mal ile yapilmis Ahi Celebi Camisi’nde gordum. Derhal caminin kapisi acilip ici silahli askerlerle doldu. Sabah namazinin sunnetini kilip duaya gectiler. Ben zavalli minber dibinde durup bu aydin ve guzel yuzlu cemaati hayran hayran seyrettim. Hemen yanimda durana bakip: ‘Sultanim! Kimsiniz? Yuce adinizi lutfediniz.’ dedim. O da: ‘Asere-i Mubessere'den, kemankeslerin piri Sa'd ibni Ebi Vakkas'im" diyince elini optum. […]

Cami kapisindan parlak bir isik peyda oldugunu gordum. Caminin ici nur dolunca butun sahabelerle peygamberlerin ve evliyalarin ruhlari ayaga kalktilar. Peygamber Hazretleri yesil bayragi dibinde, yuzunde nikabi, elinde asasi, belinde kilici ile saginda Hasan, solunda Huseyn ortaya cikinca sag ayagi ile camiye Bismillah ile girip mubarek yuzunden ortusunu acip ‘esselamu aleyke ya ummeti’ buyurdular. Mecliste hazir olanlar da ‘ve aleykumu'sselam ya Resulallah ve ya seyyidi'l-umem’ diye selam aldilar. […]

Sa'd ibni Ebi Vakkss elimden tutup Hazretin huzuruna goturdu: ‘Sadik asiklarindan ve istiyakli ummetinden Evliya kulun sefaatini rica eder’ diyip bana da ‘mubarek elini op’ diyince aglayarak mubarek elini kustahca opupp heybetinden sasirarak ‘sefaat ya Resulallah’ diyecek yerde ‘seyahat ya Resulallah’ demisim. Hazret hemen gulumseyip: ‘Allah sihhat ve selametle aefaatimi, seyahati ve ziyareti kolay kilsin" dediler. Yaninda bulunan butun sahabeler bana hayir dua ettiler…”



“This humble one and poor supplicant full of fault Evliya the unhypocritical, son of Dervish Mehmed Zilli. So I lay down on the pillow of lamentation, in the corner of my hovel, in my birthplace Istanbul, to a sleep of wish fulfilment. It was the night of Ashura in the month of Muharram, the year 1040 (19 August 1630), in a state twixt sleep and wake, that I had a dream. A mosque built with money lawfully acquired, an ancient mosque where prayers are accepted by God. There were soldiers bearing arms. The door was opened and the light-filled mosque was crowded with a luminous congregation, who were busy performing the dawn prayer. It seems that I stood motionless at the foot of the pulpit and gazed in astonishment at this congregation with their beaming faces. ‘Good sir,’ said I, turning to the person beside me, ‘please tell me who you are, and what your noble name is?’ ‘I am one of the Ten Promised Paradise, the patron saint of archers, Sa‘d ibn Abi W**qas,’ he replied. I kissed his hand. […]

A clear light broke through the door of the mosque. While the inside had already been filled with light, it was now light upon light. All the noble Companions and the spirits of the prophets and the saints rose to their feet and stood ready. The Prophet appeared felicitously at the foot of his green standard, with face veiled, staff in hand and sword girded at his waist. Hasan stood on his right and Husayn on his left. He placed his right foot inside the light-filled mosque, uttering, In the name of God. Then he removed the veil from his face and said, Peace be with you, my community. The entire congregation replied, And with you be peace, messenger of God, lord of the religious communities. […]

Sa‘d ibn Abi W**qas at once lay hold of my hand and brought me before him, saying, ‘Your loving and faithful servant, Evliya, begs your intercession.’ He told me to kiss his blessed hand. As I shamelessly put my lips on that blessed hand, out of awe and dread, instead of saying ‘Intercession (sefa‘at), O messenger of God!’ I said, ‘Travel (seyahat), O messenger of God!’ The Prophet smiled and replied, ‘My intercession and my travel and my pilgrimage, may God give you health and well-being.’ He recited a Fatiha, and all the noble Companions recited it after him…”

Ingiliz sair, elestirmen, cevirmen ve oyun yazari John Dryden'in yeni takvime gore dogum yildonumu (19 Agustos 1631)





Ta eskiden edilen
Sacma bir nikah yemini
Ne diye baglasin bizi birbirimize
Ask tukendikten sonra?
Elimizden geldigince sevdik ve sevdik,
seve seve ask bitti ikimizde de;
Ama evlilik olumdur haz kalmayinca;
Hazdi bize eskiden nikah yeminini ettiren
