Fenâyî Cennet Mehmed Efendi was grown up by Aziz Mahmud Hüdâyî in 17'th century in Celveti Dervish Convent in Üsküdar. He was a sufi poet an became a sheikh at Celveti Dervish Convent. His extrants from the verse of Koran and Hadith and bis two poems in Persian language shows that he knows Arabish and Persian language very well. Fenâyî died in H 1075/ M 1664. In addition to his poem etract (Divân) he has written Tecelliyât, Talikât, Bihiştiyâ fi'l- Ma'ârif al- İlâhiyâ. In this thesis Fenâyî's Divân is examined from Religios- mystic point of view in the light of his present seven copy and a critical text has prepared. In his poem he used "Fenâyî" as his name. He was grown up with the effection of Yunus Emre. We see this effection in his rhymes in his poems. They both used similar rhymes in his poems. Fenâyî used an understandable language in his poems. He used additions like "-avuzAevüz, -dukda/-dükde, -güV-gil, -gur/-gür, -madınZ-medin, -sar/-ser, -uban/ -üben," and words in old Turkish like "işbu, kanda, kam, ur-" in his poems. To apply to prosody written according to the rules of classical Ottoman poetry(aruz) he used Turkish words "n'ider, n' eyler." He used Arabish words like "Hızır." When his collection verse types are examined in the light of measure and rhyme it is seen that except one or two of his poems he is a succesful poet. The collection is examined through religious- mystic point. As a result of this examination it is seen that Fenâyî has used the religious- mystic concepts in the right place and with its true meanings. Fenâyî is a poet who used the verse of Koran and Hadiths exactly or partly with its meanings in poems. When it is looked for the places of the meanings of the verse of Koran and Hadith it is seen that they are just used in the right place with its meaning kept in the poems. The thesis about Fenâyî Cennet Mehmed Efendi and his Divân brings to light Fenâyî's caracter, works and his contribution to the Turkish literature.
