$149.99

This piece written in Ottoman Thuluth style contains the famous poem by Nabi. 

The Poet Nabi set out on the Hajj pilgrimage alongside statesmen. As the caravan approached Medina, Nabi became so overwhelmed with excitement that he could not sleep. He noticed a pasha in the caravan carelessly stretching his feet toward the illuminated city of Medina. Deeply moved by this disrespectful act, Nabi began composing this famous poem.

As the caravan neared Medina close to the time of the morning prayer, Nabi heard his poem being recited from the minarets of the Prophet’s (Peace and blessings be upon him) Mosque.

Overwhelmed by this, Nabi immediately sought out the muezzin and asked:
“Who taught you this poem, and how did you learn it?”

The muezzin replied:
“Last night, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) appeared to us in a dream and said:
‘A poet named Nabi from my Ummah is coming to visit me. He is filled with immense love and devotion for me. Because of this love, welcome him from the minarets of Medina with his own poem.’ So, we carried out this prophetic command.”

Upon hearing this, Nabi broke into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. He cried and said:
“So, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) called me ‘my Ummah’! The Sun of the Two Worlds has accepted me as part of his Ummah!”

Meet The Poet

Şair Nabi

Şâir Nâbî (1642–1712) was a renowned Ottoman poet, scholar, and intellectual, celebrated for his profound contributions to Turkish literature during the 17th century. Born in Urfa, Nâbî rose to prominence as one of the most influential figures of his time, blending classical Ottoman poetry with deep moral and philosophical insights.
Nâbî is best known for his work “Hayriyye”, a didactic poem written as advice to his son, which reflects his wisdom and ethical teachings. His poetry often explored themes of love, spirituality, morality, and the human condition, earning him a reputation as a “poet of wisdom.” His style was marked by clarity, depth, and a focus on social and moral issues, distinguishing him from his contemporaries.
In addition to his literary achievements, Nâbî served as a statesman and held various administrative roles in the Ottoman Empire. His travels and experiences, including his pilgrimage to Mecca, greatly influenced his work. One of his most famous poems, a naat (a poem in praise of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him), is said to have been miraculously recited from the minarets of the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina, a testament to his deep devotion and spiritual connection.
Nâbî’s legacy endures as a bridge between classical Ottoman literature and the evolving literary traditions of his time, making him a timeless figure in Turkish cultural history.
