The Concept of Night in Hüsn ü Aşk

Abstract

The concept of night is one of the poetic elements employed in Divan poetry extensively with its connotations. This concept is met in Hüsn ü Aşk as well including its all associative meanings. This is partly because of the literary school "Sebk-i Hindî" that the poet was influenced. The concept of night and related form are analyzed and interpreted here considering other Turkish sourcesin the concerned field.
