The Examination of Feyzi Halici's Poetry in the Context of Sufism

Sufism, which can be defined as the historical, moral and wise side of Islam based on love and affection, is a theme treated by poets in many phases of Turkish poetry. Sufism, also treated among modern period poets, has been included in Feyzi Halici's poetry, also known as asik Fezai, by considering various terms. Feyzi Halici has poems in verse and prose, rhyme and free style and is not affiliated with any sect, but he is one of the contemporary Turkish poets influenced by Hz. Mevlana and Mevleviyeh and treated Sufism in his poetry. Halici's poetry was studied by considering sufistic terms. In his poetry, especially Hz. Mevlana, Yunus Emre, Ahmed Yesevi and Seyh Galip one of the sheiks of Mevlevi, were given under the subtitle of the study named as Sufism elders. Also, sheikhdom and dervishhood were discussed in murshid and disciples title, which are among the important terms in Sufism. In the title of dhikr, it was tried to explain how the sema was mentioned in poetry, and important musical instruments of the Mevlevi dhikr like ney and kudum were mentioned in the Mevlevi instruments item. Besides manifestation notion, especially important for Sufism, the nafs term was also treated as other titles. In Sufism, love, as the state of dervish for the end of the suluk (spiritual travelling) was discussed and how presence-absence notions are handled in Halici's poetry was treated.
