Sufi Prayers Before the Meal
Bismi Sah even Allah diyelim kadim Allah diyelim
Geldi Ali sofrasi destur Ya Sah diyelim, Sah versin biz yiyelim Sah demine keremine hu. In the name of Ali, the King! Let us first say Allah. Let us say Allah the Uncreated The table of Ali has come Let us say, "Permission, O King!" Let the King give us food; let us eat. For his breath, for his generosity, let us say Hu!
Elhamdu lillah, elhamdu lillah, elhamdu lillah
Essukru lillah nan-i merdan, ni'met-i yezdan, berekat-i haliylurrahman. Hakk berekatini vere. Bu gitti, ganiysi gele. Somat sahibinin niyazi makbul ola. Cumle gecmislerinin ve gecmislerimizin ervah-i mukaddeseleri ha dan u sadan ola. Lokmalar nu ola, huzur ola, iman ola. Alla teala yapan lardan, yiyenlerden, hiz edenlerden hosnut ve razi ola. Demler safalar ziyado ola. Dem-i Hazret-i Mevlana, sirr-i cenab-i Sems-i Tabrizi, sirr-i Atesbaz-i Veli Huu diyelim, Huuu. Praise be to God! Thanks be to God! May the keeper of the table be accepted by God By the breath of Mevlana By the excellent secret of Shams-i Tabriz By the secret of Ateshbaz-i Veli Let us say Hu, Huuuu. back
