KILIÇNâME is not only a eulogy or a political poem; it is also an ode that contains the spirit of the period, the pains of the society, loyalty, loyalty, criticism and the search for truth.
This work is the product of an effort to bring contemporary political and social events together with the world of metaphor, remiz and mazmun of divan poetry, inspired by the centuries-old tradition of the ode of classical Turkish literature.
In some couplets there is praise, in others there is satire, reproach, in some there is a lesson, and in others there is a voice of conscience shouting out the truth. Sometimes the poet took a note to history, sometimes he expressed the love in his heart, and sometimes he looked at the mirror of the society with a critical eye.
At its center; honesty, justice, patience, loyalty and a political understanding that has a place in the conscience of the people. In this respect, *KILIÇNâME* claims to be a literary martyrdom left not only for today but also for tomorrow.
We have humbly left the overflowing drops of our hearts to the sea of literature, especially the Chairman of the Republican People's Party, Mr. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and his esteemed family, who have made integrity and honesty a motto not only in Turkish politics but also in the bureaucracy!
The acceptance and judgment of the work belongs, of course, to the conscience of the reader.
- “Shebler creates fear, enigma in the darkness
- The monument that dispels the darkness, fourteen of them Sword envâr!”
(The dark enigmatic horror of the nights! Like the full moon rising on the fourteenth, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu
will dispel this darkness.)
“The Republic said goodbye to the metropolis, truth
He made the impossible happen, Sword, nusret-i persistence!”
The People's Alliance lost the big cities and the unthinkable happened. This victory is thanks to Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu's persistence.
“He does not like actions that smell of advertising
The honor of your style is always Kılıç ebrâr!”
Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu does not put his good deeds on his head or advertise them. The reason for his exceptional philanthropy is the sublimity of this beautiful style.
“The right with a clean past, the wrong with a strong past is gloom
”The nightmare is a sword in a sword!"
Those with a clean past will stop wrong, no matter how strong they are! That is why Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu has become a nightmare for the haramzalere in their sleep.
“The address in the square is pleasure, what remedy is there for anxiety within
We have seen that today the outside world is a merry moon!”
Of course it is fun to talk in the squares, but those inside are in trouble! Today we see the scene, outside the fortune is smiling on those who are outside. Those who take advantage of this situation are very happy!
“He who sees a miracle in repetition can never take an example
Let not the ignorant with inadequate perception hope for Ahrâr!”
Those who experience the same repetition cannot learn from it.
He who cannot foresee the back and front of a job should not expect freedom!
