In his divan, Muhibbi deals with adepts of the religion and Sufism, actors, attendants of the palace and various characters from Ottoman social life as well as entertainment assemblies, musical modes and terminologies. It observed that Muhibbi engages with these elements in terms of their similarities to lover and its features. It is found that literary art like metaphor, simile, figure of speech, personification, and parable are used for social habits, traditions, various behaviours, foods and drinks, objects, illnesses, medicines and treatment methods, sport activities, and architectures. Despite the fact that Muhibbî is the supreme savering and at the highest level of social strata, he is cognizant of the social life in his time and he reflects this aspect in his poetry. This is significiant in the sense that he possesses the cultural background of Divan poetry and hi is not separated from social life even though this poetry has developed in the court and it's surroundings.
