- Abstract
One of the topics of the poems created within the ashık tradition in Tabriz, in which hundreds of ashıks, balabancıs and kavalcıs have been carrying out their art, is Babek. Babek, who was one of the Khurramites' leaders and had struggled against Abbasids in the Bez Castle, which named after him in the 9th century, is one of the most important heros of Turks living in İran today, as well as before. Ashıks also have fulfilled their mission and have been the interpreter of the people's thoughts and feelings in the celebration, carried out in July at Babek Castle between 1999-2007. Poems, which are about Babek and have been created by Aşık Gafar İbrahimi and Aşık Abbas Hazreti, are just some of the examples, created with such thoughts and feelings. Departing from these poems, one can easily see the topic of Babek, which have been evaluated in the poems of the ashıks from Tabriz and have significantly been increased in the poetry. Babek, as a subject dealed in also ashık poetry, is a new reflection of the society and ashıks, who make contact between his life, his own status and his expectations. This essay deals with the reasons and results of this reflection.
