Abstract
“Mirror” of Nev’î Yahyâ
Mankind is a mirror in which verity can be watched in
various ways. Created with the attributes of Allah (God),
every creature has undertaken the task of being a mirror.
However, for the reason that every human being is
both the mirror and in the position ofan observer by
witnessing the mirrors in the universe,their stares at the
mirror differ from each other.
In this sense, everybody’s description of the mirror is
associated with their stares at it.In this study, the sufistic
point of view over "mirror" symbol of Nev'i Yahya has
been tried to be reflected with both the mutashabih
(unclear) couplets in his Divan and samples in "Keşfü’l-
Hicab min Vechi’l-Kitab"which he indited as a sharh
(annotation) of “Fususu’l-Hikem” written by Muhyiddin
İbnü’l-Arabi.
