Özet:

The 16th century is a century in which the Ottoman Empire reached its peak in terms of military, political and scientific aspects. In this century, especially during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, progress was made in the field of literature, as in every other field. In the century when many poets grew up, personalities with other professions also showed themselves in the field of poetry. There are people who have professions such as physicians, professors, muralists, ambassadors, vizier, painters and are also engaged in poetry. Fifty-eight figures who were engaged in calligraphy and also poets in this century have been identified. One of these poets is Memikzâde Ramazan Sa'yî Çelebi. Sa'yî Çelebi's main profession is calligraphy. The poet is a master calligrapher who has no equal, especially in nestalik writing. In addition to this profession, he served as a clerk and judge in various provinces of the Ottoman Empire. The aspect of Çelebi that concerns our literature is his ghazals, which he usually wrote in amorous style. In addition to these ghazals, the poet also included poems with the content of rindâne and Şuhâne in his work. The poet, who reveals the richness of his imagination with his similes in his couplets, wrote forty-five ghazals in his work. In the first part of the study, information was given about the poet's life and literary personality, and studies were made on his ghazals.
