Özet:

Great poets were raised in the first centuries of the Abbasid Empire, which lasted for about five centuries, considered very productive in terms of Arabic poetry. One of them, Ibn al-Rūmī, is a poet who has the most voluminous divan of Arabic poetry. The outstanding side of the poet, who has penned the poem in almost every theme, is indisputably his unruly satires. So much so that when satire is mentioned in the poetry of the Abbasid period, the first name that comes to mind is Ibn al-Rūmī. When we look at the academic studies about the poet in the Arab world, it is seen that most studies focus on his satirical poems. However, the wise couplets of Ibn al-Rūmī interspersed with praise and satire-themed poems are also considerable. Even the poet has qaṣīdas dedicated to the theme of wisdom. While conveying his own life experiences in these wisdom poems, the poet often resorted to similes and metaphors, increasing the persuasive power of his statements and making his words turn into parables. Such qualified couplets are frequently encountered in his large divan. On the other hand, the relatively low-quality couplets that the poet did not try to embellish with any literary art and did not resort to a simile or metaphor to embody his message were also noticed. In this study, remarkable examples of Ibn al-Rūmī’s poems with the theme of wisdom in these two parts were selected and examined in terms of content and literary arts.
