Abstract

The eighteenth-century Turkish Sufi poet Sheikh Galib Fuzuli is one of the poets who continued and developed the traditions. The common denominator that unites these two artists is their theme in terms of both theme and genre. His poems in the ghazal genre are reminiscent of Fuzuli's ghazals. Among the poems dedicated to Fizuli in Sheikh Galib's divan, takhmis have a special place. This shows that both poets have common features in their work in terms of form and content. From the point of view of the theme, the theme of love occupies a leading place in the works of both poets. These poets, who sang of divine love with infinite love, experienced the sufferings of worldly love and were able to turn their emotional turmoil into poetry by living a life full of destiny. The article describes in detail the subject matter of the ghazals of both poets.
