- Abstract
Hilmî Kıbrısî Efendi is a prominent 19th Century Divan poet of Cyprus. Born in 1783, he received an excellent education. Hilmî Kıbrısî Efendi, who was an honorable scholar proficient in both Arabic and Persian languages, served his people as a mufti, müderris, sheik Seba and a minister of the library. Upon joining Turks to the Muslim faith, mysticism was spread in Central Asia and then in Anatolia. After the conquest of Cyprus's island by the Turks in 1571, the Mevlevi Sheiks carried the idea of Sufism from Anatolia to the island. The Mevlevihane of Lefkoşa, which was built in 1593, is an important center that effectively contributed to mysticism in Cyprus. Sheiks had often read Mevlana's poems from Mathnawi in the Mevlevihane of Lefkoşa at special ceremonies of which Hilmî Kıbrısî Efendi was a regular attendant. Being deeply inspired by Mevlana's lyrics, he composed poems reflecting religion, mysticism, divine love, and sects' order, which are the main features of Divan poetry. In this article, we have studied the reflections of magic in Hilmî Kıbrısî Efendi's poems.
