Dedezade Tombstone at the Şahkulu Sultan Dergah Cemetery

Oh, my Lord? The remnant of knowledge? Having departed to the West? Dedezade
, did death come by the will of the Merciful? Ready with his soul?
The one who brought it about? My sheikh and father, Mustafa El-Hakk
—is he the recipient of miracles in the garden? Daughter of Emine, in the grace and bounty
of the Saints? Through his intercession at his passing? I inscribed the date? Oh, my Lord!
Departing as an individual…. To the Highest, indeed? To the West? Dedezade
, Year 1186
