Nef'î's Sözüm Redifli Kaside is a remarkable kaside in Turkish literature where the function of the fahriye section of the kaside exceeds the function of the eulogy section. Nef'î is seen in this kaside with an identity that deeply processes his own poetic understanding and connects each couplet of the kaside to this poetic thought. In this kaside, all the elements of the verse form of the kaside are eliminated and it forms a whole with only poetic lineage. Since examining the ideas in this text in detail would exceed the limits of this report, we focused on the concept of essence and verbal essence that frequently confronts the reader as a motif repeated as a poetic element in the kaside. We tried to show how this concept, which Nef'î particularly mentions in the introduction and other sections of this kaside, is processed and detailed in terms of both its philosophical and poetic dimensions.
