He visited many cities and villages and then acquired impressions about those places in the time he was in Turkey. His work named Zikreyât Matviyye (memories that remained hidden) could not come to light for many years. Finally in the year of 1993, namely one year later from his death, it was able to be printed with the efforts of Neha Yahya Hakki, his daughter. He recorded his cultural, art, social, political, economic and military impressions that he acquired in the time he was in Istanbul to the history with the selis style.

Summary
Yahya Hakkı Türk asıllı olmasına rağmen, yetiştiği evde çok az Türkçe konuşulmuştur. Yahya Hakkı’nın Mahmud Tahir Hakkı isminde bir amcası vardı. Yahya Hakkı’nın amcası da beyaz fes giyerek bir anlamda Sırpları protesto ediyordu. Yahya Hakkı, büyük bir iştiyakla görmeyi arzu ettiği Türkiye’ye gitmek üzere İskenderiye’den Ege veya İzmir adlı büyük bir gemiye biner ve dört gün sonra İstanbul’a varır. Yahya Hakkı, İstanbul’da farklı bir dünya ile karşılaşır. Yahya Hakkı İstanbul’da bir süre kaldıktan sonra Pire ve İzmir’e geçer. Yahya Hakkı’nın İstanbul’da bulunduğu sıralarda Münir Nureddin Selçuk (1900-1981) dönemin en büyük şarkıcısıdır. Yahya Hakkı, “Münir Nureddin’in müziği sunuş ve icra şeklini Mısır’daki durum ile karşılaştırdığımda son derece gelişmiş bir müzik olarak değerlendiriyordum” (Hakkı, Zikreyât Matviyye, 1993: 65) diyerek Mısır’ın bu konuda geri kaldığını ifade eder. Oysa Mısır’da böyle bir oluşum yoktu.” (Hakkı, Zikreyât Matviyye, 1993: 65)
