Öz
In the relationship of human beings with nature, the sea has had an impact on the human mood in many aspects such as its calmness, vastness, irritability, and serenity. Traces of this influence have been reflected in Turkish literature since the pre-Islamic period. In Islamic period Turkish literature, on the other hand, besides this lyrical meaning, the sea has also been loaded with mystical meanings. Murâdî, one of the poet rulers of the 16th century, benefited from both the lyric and mystical meanings of the concept of the sea in her Turkish divan, and frequently included the sea and the concepts related to the sea in his work. In this study, the way in which the sea and some elements related to the sea are conceived in Murâdî's divan and its reasons are discussed. Some couplets that can reflect the subject related to these concepts in the divan have been selected, and the meanings and images of the sea and related words have been tried to be explained.
