Rashid Ali Efendi, a Bektashi poet, was first mentioned by the Ottoman Authors (Osmanlı Müellifleri). He wrote his poems under the pseudonyms of Rashid and Kemter which were also adopted by other poets in their poems. Using multiple pseudonyms and the adoptations of these names by other poets led to the confusion in Rashid’s life and his literary personality. The only identified work of Rashid is Diwan which is claimed to be a voluminous one. Unfortunately, it could not be accessed in this study. The availbale copy of Rashid’s Diwan includes sixteen ghazals, seven nafases (Bektashi poem), two muxammases, and two musaddases. This work can be considered as a small diwan (diwancha) with this nature. It is understood from Rashid’s poems, he was a poet in love with Prophet Hazrat Muhammad and Hazrat Ali. Besides, he was a poet having a special love to Hazrat Hussain and Ahl al-Bayt. It is also possible to find the traces of the Jafferism, Haydarism, Bektashism and Hurufism in Rashid’s works.This study aims to understand the detection of Rashid Ali Efendi’s Diwan as a text and its investigation from a literary perspective. For these purposes, the catalog of manuscript libraries were searched and the copy of manuscript (Rashid’s Diwan) was obtained. The poems in that copy and the poems are claimed to be belonging to Rashid’s poetry in the other special works were examined with the method of comparison, analysis, sampling and explanation.
