The Fuzuli's lnfluence in the Gazals of Hayali and Yahya Bey

Abstract

When we look atsome gazels, it looks as if the Hayali and Yahya Bey was influenced by great Azeri poet Fuzûlî. We believe that three poets were influenced by each other asa result ofpoetry meetings where they came together after the Bağdat expedition of Süleyman the Law-maker. In the introduction of Leyla and Mecnun mesnevi Fuzûlî says that he wrote Leyla and Mecnun since it was suggested by Anatolian poets. This fact also supports the thesis that there is an intreaction and mutual impact between the two poets. The mutual impact is clear especially in the poems Bekleruz and Su which take place in divans of three poets. The similarity of poems both in terrus of content and form maker us also think that some of these poems are nazire. In this study, we will examplify the influence of Fuzûlî in the poems of Hayâlî and Yahyâ Bey.
