Türâbî Dede

 Türâbî Dede

Also known as Ali, the poet with the pen name Turâbî is recognized as Yanbolulu Ali Turâbî Baba or Hacı Ali Turâbî Dedebaba. It is known that he was born in Yanbolu, which is a settlement where Turks lived and is now located within the borders of Bulgaria, in the year 1786.


In 1853, Turâbî corrected the "New Testament" part of "The Holy Bible," which was translated by Ali Ufkî Bey. This indicates that Turâbî received a good education and was knowledgeable. Turâbî, who traveled to many lands with his saz during his youth, met the third period Melâmî master Seyyid Muhammed Nurü'l Arabi in Üsküp and embraced Melâmilik. Later, he came to Istanbul and received the verbal oath from Halil Revnâki Baba at the Merdivenköy Bektaşî Dergah, whom he would succeed after his death, and became affiliated with the Bektaşi order. After becoming the leader of this dergah, Turâbî took over the position of Dedebaba at the Hacı Bektaş Pir Evi in Kırşehir through intihâb in 1268 AH/1849 AD and served in this position for nine years (Altınok 2006: 9; Noyan 2001: 509). Turâbî passed away in 1868 while being the leader, and he was buried in the medhal area of Kırklar Meydanı near the Hacı Bektaş Dergah.


Before his death, the poet wrote a poem that begins with the verse "Şerbet-i mevti içirdi âkibet devrân bana / Vakt ü saat erdi mühlet vermedi bir ân bana" to be inscribed on his gravestone.


Turâbî is the author of a compiled divan. The dotted letters of the final hemistich of the crown verse "Hüdâ tevfikindir ol erenler himmeti sani / Turâbî'nin mehcuriyle dîvânı hub-resân oldu" in Turâbî Dîvânı correspond to the year 1257 AH/1841 AD according to the abjad calculation. This indicates that the divan was completed in 1841.


Turâbî wrote poetry in both aruz and syllabic meter. The poems he wrote in aruz meter are included in his divan, while the ones written in syllabic meter can be found in sources related to him and cönks (notebooks). He used a fluent and clear language in his poems and skillfully reflected all the characteristics of Alevi-Bektashi belief.


Come, let's go to the hands of love, oh heart,

If your purpose is the beloved, one is enough.

Think of the deeds you have done,

Criticism and legend are sufficient.


Türabi, become complete in your essence,

Become complete in the path of God.

Consider yourself a fleeting illusion

The past has passed, the coming is a sign.
