Gökyüzü ve gök cisimleri tarihin her anında ve alanında olduğu gibi, edebiyat alanında da her zaman ilgi çekici konular olmuştur. Yıldızlar, yıldız kümeleri, gezegenler vs. astronomların ve bilim adamlarının dışında, şairlerin ve yazarların da fazlasıyla ilgisini çekmiş, onlar da bu kavramları eserlerinde sıklıkla kullanarak insanoğlunun bu merakını bir üst basamağa taşımıştır.

In almost every Dîvân poets used these cosmic elements in their works such as Dîvâns, Mathnawîs and other kind of literature works. Although frequency of usage and semantic substructure of the cosmic elements changes from poet to poet, one of the first poets coming to mind is Sünbül-zâde Vehbî who used this subject in his poems frequently. Sünbül-zâde Vehbî gives various meanings to stars, planets and constellations used in his Dîvân vastly by direct or indirect ways. Except its’ scientific qualities, it’s used as a metaphoric items. Sometimes these were used for compliment to people who praised and sometimes for satire about its’ bad features. This study, based on Sünbül-zâde Vehbî's Dîvân (Sünbülistân) written by Vehbî from Maraş, aims to state every cosmic element used in this Dîvân and to identify their uses and principles and to explain these principles by illustrating with verses.
