ZATI’S POEMS WHICH ARE NOT INCLUDED IN HIS DIVAN OR IN OTHER RESOURCES


Zatî, one of the poets who lived in the 16th century, came to the fore as a guide for young poets of his time. The poet has many works and especially his divan is the prominent one amongst his other works. The ghazals included in this divan are written in more of a rindane (feeling complaisance to the world and its living and non-living beings) utterance. Zatî, who uses folk-related elements such as proverbs, idioms and folk expressions, has a simple utterance. The poet who presented kasides to different sultans and executives at various levels of the government who lived in his period, earned his life by this profession of his called ‘’remil’’ (fortune telling using sand) in the remil shop located in the garden of Bayezit Mosque, besides the gifts he earned from the government by the poems he presented. The poet’s poems are also included in various majmuas (journals) besides his ghazals included in his divan. 14 of these poems are found in the majmua named ‘’Ravzatü’l-Eş’ar’’. All of the ghazals which are thought to belong to Zatî by the way of language and wording are presented in the article. The poet who could handle every kind of daily situation in his gazelles, mentioned folk beliefs, traditions and different living styles in his poems. It is necessary to take his poems that are not included in his divans to consideration in order to understand the classical Turkish literature fully and to put it through evaluation. The poems by Zatî that are found in Ravzatü’l-Eş’ar, a Ph.D. dissertation prepared by us, have not been published since today. These gazelles which are thought to belong to Zatî are presented in our study with reference to the thought of presenting these poems to the considerations of literary communities.
