ABSTRACT

In this study, one of the important divan poets of 18th century, Seyh Galib’s ‘hasretiz’ (we are longing) ryming ghazel has been analyzed through classical method of commentary and, then in terms of structure. Today, the language of Divan literature and poetry has not been clearly understood by modern society. This makes it necessary to explain divani poem in simpler terms. The language used by Seyh Galib such as words, culprit, and synthesis and (gram) noun phrases impedes the poem to be completely understood by contemporary people. Furthermore, Seyh Galib is the most important representative of Sebk-i Hindi (Indian Movement) in divan literature. His poems need to be explained from this aspect as well. When descriptive studies which have been conducted recently are taken into consideration, it has been found that there have not been enough studies conducted on the types of divan poems that Seyh Galib wrote. In this study, ‘hasretiz’ (we are longing) ryming ghazel has been studied in terms of meaning, form and structure.
