Abstract

In Turkish literature “hiciv”, in Arabic literature “hicâ”, in folk literature “taşlama” and in contemporary Turkish literature “yergi” are used for a genre of poetry that refers to denigrate a person or a person or a society and to enumerate their flaws and defects. In western tradition satire is generally regarded as presenting the nature of ridiculous, wrong and ugly customs and events with elegance and therefore, it also assumes a social task in addition to being as literary genre. However, in eastern literatures, satire, which rarely has a social function, is seen as a genre in which personal grudges are revealed, since it is generally based on the denigration of real people, and mostly abusive and obscene satires come to mind. This type of poetry, like other types of poetry, has positive and negative qualities. While persons and critics, who described satirical poetry, always mentioned its negative aspects in their books and descriptions, they generally ignored its positive aspects. In this study, positive aspects of poetry of satire will generally be emphasized and the poetry of Hasan b. Sabit in this regard will be taken as a model.
