Özet:

Turkish literature needs to be discussed and assessed in a holistic approach, taking its historical development into consideration. The classical period of Turkish literature will be understood and interpreted more accurately within this approach. In this context, literary products belonging to different fields of Turkish literature, especially divans, are of great importance for researchers. In this work, we will focus on Zevkî , one of the Azerbajiani poets whose life we do not have definite knowledge about today, and his Divan. We get more information from Persian sources than Turkish sources about Zevkî who is supposed to have lived in the 17th century. The unique copy of the Divan is registered in the "Supplement Turc 733 (cote)" at the ‘’Collections of the Manuscripts Department of Paris National Library’’ and consists of 168 leaves. Most of the poems in Divan are sufi gazelles discussing sufistic subjects. Apart from the gazelles, Divan has poems formed in “murabba”, “ muhammes”, “müseddes” and “müstezad”. Conducting from the nazires in the Divan, it is understood that the most important characteristic of the poet is him being a follower of Nesîmî. Apart from this, the other important characteristics of Zevki are that he has a strong Shi'i emphasis in his poems and he is influenced by Hurufism in a certain extent. In the Divan, besides Turkish poems, different forms of verse are involved and there are also Persian poems in mystical identity. The Persian poems are present at the beginning, at the sides and at the end of the Divan. On the last page of the Divan, there is also an augur text in Persian that arguedly was narrated by Hazrat Ali.
