Abstract:

Arsi; He is a poet who lived at the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century. He wrote his only known work, Divan, in a way that reflects the thought of Hurufism, and expressed his belonging to the Hurufism belief in many couplets. But when his poems are examined, only traces of this belief are not seen. In his poems, especially the excess of elements related to Bektashi thought draws attention. If this is the case; suggests that the poet lived in an environment where Bektashis lived and interacted with them. Arsi; by using masnevi, kaside, gazell, tuyug verse forms, Hz. Muhammed, Hz. Ali wrote poems expressing his love for twelve imams and Hacı Bektaş Veli. He also has a poem in the type of cehar-yar written for four caliphs. An integrative love is seen in the poet; However, those who do not experience this love, those who mistreat Hz. Muhammad and his companions and do not love them are criticized. The aim of this study is to reveal the reflections of Bektashism in the Arsi Divan. Within the scope of the study, the concept of the Arsi Divan was searched and the couplets about Bektashism and Hacı Bektaş Veli were selected and some determinations were made.
