The majority of the poems in İbrāhīm Beg’s verse collection are
short mes̱nevīs, resulting in the hesitation of researchers in naming it Dīvān.
These short mes̱nevīs include verses in praise of Jalāl al-Dīn
Rūmī, translations from ten stories in the Mas̱navī, and Sufi commentaries of some of the
stories. The ten stories include smaller stories and some of these are not found in
the Mas̱navī. According to the master’s
thesis by Sağlam, the mes̱nevīs consist of a total of 2012 couplets. The total
number of couplets for poetry which is not in mes̱nevī form is 1396. İbrāhīm
Beg’s verse collection includes a naʿt of 275 couplets narrating the
ascension of the prophet. Show more
