Leylâ and Mecnûn is a famous masnavi on love written by Fuzûlî in 1535. This work, one of the most successful love stories of Eastern literature, was written in the aruz pattern. It consists of 3098 couplets. The poet told the love story of Leyla and Mecnun in an intense and original way; He included flowers such as roses, buds, tulips, daffodils, jasmine, lilies and irises in his poetry; He used some of its features such as color, shape and smell as a simile element. Fuzûlî skillfully included flowers that reflect the harmony of nature and love in his masnavi Leyla and Mecnun. In this study, the contexts created within the text of the flowers in Fuzûlî's Leylâ and Mecnûn were evaluated. Thus, it was tried to determine what meanings the poet attributed to flowers.
