Ra’ûfî Şeyh Seyyid Ahmed Divanı (İnceleme-Metin)

Abstract

In the 18th century, when the distance between our classical literature and our religiousmystical(sufism) folk literature became shorter and closest to each other, members of both traditions inspired each other and wrote poetry. Ahmed Ra'ufi, who lived in this century, was a mystic poet who wrote poetry both in syllabic and scales. Ra’ufi, who mainly dealt with religious-mystical issues in his poetry, also exhibited a didactic style by giving warnings and advice while lyrically describing the love of Allah (God) and the Prophet. There are four known works of the poet. The Divan of Ra’ufi constitutes the subject of our work. In this study, The Divan of Ahmed Ra'ufi, one of the 18th century poets, was examined and a translated written text was prepared. There is a single copy of the work today, which is written in simple Turkish, looking from a mystical window. Our work was created at the (Ankara) National Library of Turkey, starting from this record, which was recorded at 06 Mil Yz FB 341 archive number. The work which we studied on The Divan Of Ra’ufi consists of an introduction and three chapters. In the introduction, a brief evaluation of the political, cultural and literary situation of the 18th century was made. The first chapter consists of information about Ahmed Raufi's life, literary personality and works. In the second chapter, Divan text is examined in terms of form and content. In the third chapter, the translated text of The Divan of Ra’ufi is given. At the end of the work, the original of The Divan of Ra’ufi was appended. With this work, the poet identity of Ra'ufi, who is in the foreground with the Sufi personality in the source and whose sheikh identity is behind his poet identity will be tried to be revealed and his work composed of poems in which beautiful expressions take place will be introduced to today's literature world.
