In classical Turkish poetry it has been seen that wine by its both real meaning and figurative meaning has been one of the most important poetic materials for almost all poets.Fehîm-i Kadîm as one of the crucial poets of 17th century, has used the concept of wine frequently in his poems pertinent to the tradition. His gazel with “şarâb” redif is a poem written upon the definition and description of wine. In poems where a certain term is in the form of redif, content integrity is shaped around the dimesions of meaning contained by word or phrase which forms the redif. Both real meaning and symbolic meaning obtained in tasavvuf terminology, of wine have been reshaped by Fehîm and submitted as a harmonious poem for collocutors.In this study based upon Fehîm‟s gazel with wine redif, the meaning of wine within tasavvuf terminology and in this sense its symbolic meaning within classical Turkish poetry where it has taken part as an indispensable componant is to be emphasized. In the analysis of the related gazel in addition to using classical analysing method reader-response approaches will also be considered and it will be tried to reach different meaning spheres behind the text.
