Part 3


The Sun and the Moon (Sheykh Shams and Faxr ad-din)


The Yazidi folk beliefs maintain that Sheykh Shams is also venerated by Jews and Christians–a phenomenon difficult to explain. The Yazidi deities are extremely esoteric, and their attribution to other religious traditions (even those who have vivid analogues) is strictly prohibited by the tradition. Sheykh Shams has become an exception, probably due to the omnitude and universality of the sun.

Rihū ku di ǰihūna,

Salafxōrin di Bōtānē būna,

Aw žik (ži ku) li pē Šēšim dičūna.

Falah ku falāna,

Yē bi k’ašiš ū ābūnana,

Aw žik li pē Šēšim diha Rina.

The Jew, who are Jews,

Were usurers in Bohtan,

They too have gone in search of Sheykh Shams.

The Christians, who are Christians,

Who have priests and monks,

They too are going in search of Sheykh Shams.
