Evaluation of Mevlana and Bediuzzaman’s Poems Starting with “Listen” in Terms of Similar and Different Aspects

Abstract

In this study, Mevlana’s “Dinle Neyden” and Bediuzzaman’s “Dinle de Yıldızları” poems are studied to understand the connections better between the similarities and differences. Although centuries have passed over them, in all the works of these two authors and in these two poems, we can see each work’s scent, color, and voice, as well as the differences arising from the distance of centuries. While many studies have been found about ‘Neyden Dinle’ of Mevlana, no academic study has been done on Bediuzzaman’s ‘Yıldızları Dinle’. This study was carried out to see that Mevlana and Bediuzzaman progressed closely to each other and to demonstrate that these two poems are two sides of the same coin. Although they came at different times, they are not independent of each other and their different aspects are to meet the needs of their centuries.
