Ali Shir Navayi, who shaped the Chagatai branch of Classical Turkish Poetry in central Asia, is one of the greatest poets of all world literature, who has been accepted as a master by both Eastern and Western Turkish poets with his original dreams, strong style and competence in using language. He contributed to our cultural and literature world with more than thirty works he wrote. He wrote many poems in Turkish diwans, which he divided into four groups by dividing his life into childhood, youth, middle age and old age, using almost every poetry form. However, it is seen that some mistakes were made in the naming of some poetry forms in these divans. When the divans are examined comparatively, it is understood that the poems named as muhammes, müseddes and müsemmen are actually tahmis, tesdis and tesmins written in their own ghazels. While it is seen that tahmis, tesdis and tesmin, which means adding three, four and five verses to each couplet of a ghazel, making the total number of lines five, six and eight, were generally applied to the poems of other poets, Navayi himself applied this to his own poems. In this article, this situation, which was determined in the Turkish diwans of Ali Shir Navayi, will be emphasized.
