Ali Lutfî was one of the poets lived in the XIX
century. No information has not been found about the poet. In this study, the
main primary sources were reviewed and the poets whose nicknames are Lutfî were
identified. At the end of this research, it was found out that Ali Lutfî was a particular
poet. In this study, the Dîwân of Lutfî was made known and the main Sûfî
terms in his Dîwân were explained briefly. What
makes this article significant is that it has been the first study about Lutfî
and the Dîwân. The source
of the information given about the poet is the Dîwân of the
poet. This is the only known work of Lutfî. There are 163 ghazals, 8 mukhammas,
4 mathnavis and 1 musaddas in the Dîwân.
The poet used the makhlas ‘Lutfî’. The only copy of the manuscript has been
reached. The Dîwân, which
has a digital copy, has 52 leaves. Dîwân
is registered in the H. Şemsi F. Güneren section in Süleymaniye Library, as
number 69. Lutfi was a Sûfî poet who was
faithful to the tarîqats
‘Qādirī and the Khalvatī’. The eulogies written about the founders and
representatives of these tarîqats,
such as Abd al-Qādir Gaylanî, Sayyid Yahya Shirvanî, Shams al-Dîn Shiwasî and
Sivasî Hacı Ahmed who was the poet’s sheikh grab the attention. The fact that
the author is a mystic has enriched the Dîwân in terms of the sufi terminology.
