Abstract
This study delves into the works of the Turkic poet Osman Kemal Efendi, commonly known as Osman Kemali. He was a devoted disciple of Jalal al-Din Rumi and a memorizer of the Quran. Rumi's profound engagement with rational and transmitted sciences, literature, jurisprudence, hadith, Quranic exegesis, and the sayings of Imam Ali (AS) provided the fertile ground for the emergence of the most exquisite panegyrics dedicated to Imam Ali (AS) in the Persian literary tradition. This influence has also inspired Osman Kemali's poetry to be crafted in an ethereal style, embodying a genuine affection for the Ahl al-Bayt (AS). The significance of the present research lies in the introduction of a poet unreserved in his expression of love for the household of the Prophet. The primary objective of this study is to examine the extent to which Osman Kemali's poetry is influenced by Rumi. The research methodology is predominantly library-based, supplemented by interviews in certain sections of the study. The theoretical framework is grounded in discourse analysis, drawing on the ideas of Fairclough (2001). Findings indicate that Kemali's poetry is deeply influenced by Rumi in terms of theme and meaning, and it can be posited that the meter of his verses closely resembles that of Rumi's. In contrast to Rumi's poetry, which incorporates both personal and impersonal pronouns, Kemali's work is characterized by a restriction to personal pronouns. Another salient feature of Osman Kemali's poetry is his use of allusion; he employs verses, hadiths, and even Rumi's poetry as allusions throughout nearly all of his works, following Rumi's stylistic approach
