Notes	It is a work consisting of poems written by Mevlana's elder son Bahaeddîn Muhammed Veled, known as Sultan Veled, under the pseudonym "Veled". In the Sultan Veled Divan, where 29 different aruz patterns are used, there are verse forms such as ode, ghazal, stanza, terci-bend, tekib-bend, musammat and rubai, which should be found in a composed divan. While the Sultan Veled Divan was being compiled, it was arranged by taking Mevlana's Divan-ı Kebîr as an example. Therefore, the set of poems written in each pattern of 29 aruz meter is placed in an alphabetical order, as in Mevlana's work. According to this situation, the order of the poems in the Divan of Sultan Veled follows a course in the form of odes, ghazals, stanzas and terci. The rubais in the Divan are arranged in a separate section from other poems (for rubais, see Uzluk 1941: 559-616; Değirmençay 1996). The content breakdown is as follows: 826 Persian ghazals, 32 odes, 9 stanzas, 10 terci-bend and tekhib-bend, 23 musammat, 454 rubai. In addition to these poems in Persian, Dîvân also contains Turkish, Arabic poems and Greek couplets. Accordingly, the Arabic poems in the work consist of 8 Arabic poems and 3 rubais in 62 couplets, 3 couplets in a Persian ghazal, and a Persian-Arabic mulemma poem. Turkish poems consist of 14 Turkish poems in 123 couplets and a vague ghazal in Persian-Turkish with 13 couplets. The number of Greek couplets in the work is 21. In Sultan Veled's Dîvân, in addition to these, the presence of mulemma poems in Persian-Turkish, Persian-Arabic and Persian-Greek is a remarkable feature of the content. When the content of the ghazals in the Dîvân is examined, it is seen that most of them were written as parallels to Mevlana's ghazals. is seen. Because of this nature of the work, those who studied Dîvâ have suggested that Sultan Veled Dîvânı should be taken into consideration in order to better understand the poems in Mevlânâ's Dîvân-ı Kebîr (Uzluk 1941: 41-42). The muvaşşah/acrostic poems written for the leading statesmen of the period and which usually give the name of the person about whom they are written by ordering the first letters of the couplets, are important as they have become historical documents today (Yazıcı 1997: 30). Sultan Veled Divan is an intellectual text rather than a literary text, due to the dryness of the expression of the poems it contains and the predominance of the didactic aspect. It resembles text. In contrast to the deep, enthusiastic poems full of untouched dreams and ideas in his father Mevlana's Dîvân-ı Kebîr, Sultan Veled's poems revolve around the same themes on a flat surface without getting tired. However, this aspect, which is persistently preserved in his poems, serves as a kind of explanatory text for a better understanding of some ambiguous points in Dîvân-ı Kebîr, since most of them were written as parallels to his father's ghazals. So much so that it is possible to understand the meaning of some of Mevlana's poems, in which dreams, ideas and enthusiasm cover each other and make them intricate due to their style and emotional characteristics, from the data of Sultan Veled's unpretentious, simple and serene style. In this respect, it would not be misleading to consider most of the poems in the Dîvân as keys that open some of the closed doors of the Dîvân-ı Kebîr. If the poems in the nature of eulogies and elegies in Sultan Veled's Dîvân are excluded, all the poems in the work are of a mystical and instructive nature, with an emphasis on advice and lesson. This emphasis on caution in his poems carries the idea that the reader should take a lesson from what is in front of his eyes, rather than opening his eyes to a lesson. Due to this stylistic feature, the ghazals and rubais in the Dîvân do not have any problems with understanding, as they are written in a simple, clear and plain manner. Sultan Veled's Dîvân was published with an introduction written by Veled Çelebi and an introduction containing Feridun Nafiz Uzluk's evaluations of the work (Uzluk 1941). The work was also published in Iran by (Asgar-i Rabbani 1338). Sultan Veled's Turkish poems were published by Veled Çelebi in Arabic letters (1341), and by Mecdut Mansuroğlu in Latin letters (1958). A study was also conducted on the poet's rubai (Değirmençay 1996). His Arabic poems were translated into Turkish by Veyis Değirmençay (1997).
