Abstract:

Ahmetshah Karakaş, one of the poets who held an important place in Uyghur classical literature, lived in the 18th century in Hoten's Karakaş nahia and in his life wrote many poems, mainly the hiciv genre. Even though it did not reach us, it has passed into the records that it had a divan. His contribution to the hiciv type of Uighur classical literature is great. In his poems, Ahmetshah has used the style of hiciv with his impressive language and humorous narrative to master the evils in social relationships. Only four of his poems have been published today. Of these, the most well-known, read and attracted the attention of researchers is the poem called "Selamname". Karakaş’s poem “Selamname” is written in the style of narrative, in the style of hiciv, and in the style of poetry in the form of Muhammad. The wicked, ugly sides of the time in which the Muslims lived through an impressive, imaginary and humorous language, such as lazy, lies, and unfathomism, which was contrary to the morality, were criticized. Because the poet's language used in the Muhammad is close to the people's language, smooth, simple and impressive, the poet has been interpreted and hand-handed and composed and spread from mouth to mouth and has become beautiful folklore patterns in the people. In our work, the hiciv poet Ahmetshah Karakaş was introduced while the characteristics of his poem "Selamname" were focused on the reasons for writing and the poem was translated into Turkish.
