Özet:

In its most general and known definition, parallel poem (Nazire in Turkish) is a similar poem written by another poet mostly in the same prosody (vezin in Turkish) and rhyme (kafiye in Turkish) - if any in repeated voice/word after the rhyme (redif in Turkish). Considering the proportion of parallel poems in the divans, classical Turkish literature can be called as parallel poem literature. It is possible to talk about parallel poem circles formed around certain poets and poems in Turkish literature. Especially great poets and their poems are held up as an example in every period. One of them is Nâbî. Nâbî is a school-owned poet who has a wide influence and parallel poem circle around him. Nâbî, the most important representative of intellections of thought and advice centred poetry -in other words erudite/wise poets- in classical Turkish literature, became a model for many poets. One of these names is Suleyman, not mentioned in biographical sources and not using pseudonym in his poems. Based on his Divan, Suleyman, who we think that he is one of the 17th century poets, wrote parallel poems to the names such as Nef‘î (d. 1635), Vecdî (d. 1661), Nâ‘ilî (d. 1666), Mezâkî (d. 1676), Abdî Pasha (d. 1691). However, he mostly held up as an example the poems of Nâbî. 15 of the 68 odes of the poet were parallel poem to Nâbî. The Divan of Suleyman has been in the Egyptian National Library Talat 159. This copy -registered in the catalogue on behalf of “Koca Derviş Pasha” (d. 1603)- contains 6 poems, 1 tercîibent, 68 odes (gazel in Turkish), 150 rubaies (rubai in Turkish) and 12 couplets (müfret in Turkish) written by the poet in eulogium (kaside in Turkish) form. In this study, knowledge about Suleyman was given as well as parallel poems of the poet to Nâbî were examined. As a result of the study, it was seen that Suleyman, who wrote to parallel poem to amorous odes of Nâbî, was a follower poet of Nâbî.
