Abstract

Proverbs and idioms have been used by writers and poets in every period of history to enhance and strengthen narrative expression. Divan poets also benefit from proverbs and idioms in their poetry in accordance with the tradition. Thus, they both gave aesthetic and added power to narration. Proverbs and idioms contribute to metaphor and other arts of speech so they have also been widely used in Divan poetry. In Divan poets' poems, proverbs and idioms are also shed light on the language material of the time they lived.
