Abstract

Bosnian Mehmet Fâzıl Pasha (1799-1882) is one of the statesmen and poets of the XIX. century. However, he is rather a statesman and it would not be wrong to say that he used his talents of poetry in this direction and his life in the center of political conflicts surpassed his literary career. Fâzıl Pasha stood against opponents of the government and Âlî Pasha such as Ziya Pasha, because of his admission to the government. According to the statements in Zafar-nâme, Fâzıl Pasha became mutasarrıf (administrator authority of sanjaks) of İzmid with a stanza which is criticizing Ziya Pasha. But after the writing of Zafernâme, he understands what it will cost to use his poetry for this purpose. Fâzıl Pasha, who actually was not opposed to Ziyâ Pasha, and who even wrote the 48th anniversary in his Divan to Ziya Pasha for his promotion to overseer of Bosna, was criticized for getting such an authority so easily; he gets insulted with words like dog and clown. Fâzıl Pasha defends himself with “Reddiye ve Tekzibiyye” (Rejection and Refutation). We will examine the diwan of the Bosnian Mehmet Fâzıl Pasha in terms of the most important elements of Classical Turkish Poetry “loved one” and “her elements of beauty”, and thus answer the allegations that he is almost illiterate and an uneducated person. Fâzıl Pasha, who had the greatest misfortune to confront a giant name like Ziyâ Pasha, will Show up as a poem over the mediocre with his skillful and fluent style in the field of aruz prosody.
