Abstract

Divan literature, a style of writing under Persian and Islamic influence, is very prescriptive. The Divan poets generally stayed within these rules but formed deep layers of meaning together with mazmun and concepts. Divan poetry, which benefits from many fields, from celestial books to astronomy, mythology to legend, miracle to superstition, and medicine to math, is also very rich in terms of individuals who have become mazmun. Some of these individuals are saints who have become famous for their events and narratives. These saints and Sufis have been the material of poetry in various aspects. Some are the result of a miracle, some are an example, some are penned with a work, some are the material of the poem because of the suitability of its name to be used with tawriye and pun. The Divan poet seeks to address the same subject with a different perspective and a new meaning. Therefore, the same name can appear in many different parables. The veli and mutas Sufis discussed in this study are those who have made a breakthrough on the path of Sufism and sect in general and have been the pioneers of the period in which they lived and the periods after them. Examples are given about the aspects of these individuals whose lives are briefly mentioned in the divans.
