Dream of the Poet Figani and its Misinterpretationby Karabalizade Dream of the Poet Figani and its Misinterpretationby Karabalizade from Aşık Çelebi’s Meşairü’ş Şu‘ara’ (c.1568) “Tonight, I saw that a minaret was built on the Port. A minaret which was as high as the favor from the statesmen and which resembled the smoke from the sights of the lovers… They offered and I climbed up. I called for the prayer on that minaret. But such a great fear overtook me that I gave up my life.   Bu gice gördüm ki iskelede bir mināre yapılmış, himmet-i aṣḥāb-ı devlet gibi bülend ve dūd-ı āh-ı ʿāşıḳmānend. Teklīf itdiler çıḳdum ol minārede eẕān oḳıdum ammā derūnuma bir hevl geldi ki cānumdan el yudum.

Balizade laughed and said “This is an auspicious dream Balizade laughed and said “This is an auspicious dream. No possibility for another (interpretation). If God wills, I will go to İskender Çelebi Efendi for you today and get you the position as a scribe at the custom post quickly. I will be back with the appointment deed before the evening. May you earn from the custom fees at the port while drinking and partying with a view of the sea. May the sound of your joy and pleasure be heard all-around. May its interpretation happen in this way.”  Ḳara Bālī-zāde gülüp didi ki bu vāḳıʿa ḫayrdur ne iḥtimāl ġayrdur inşāʿallāh bugün senüñçün İskender Çelebi Efendi’ye varayım saña yā Gümrük yā Pencīk kitābetin alıvireyin aḫşāma ḳomayayın berātuñ yanumdan çıḳarayın. İskelede deryāya nāẓır çār-ṭāḳlarda ʿıyş u ʿişretler ile der- āmedler taḥṣīl idüp sohbetler ile āvāze-i ẕevḳ ü neşāṭuñ eṭrāfa şāyiʿ olsun, taʿbīri böyle vāḳıʿ olsun didi.” Meşā‘irü’ş-Şu‘arā, vol 3., p. 1208.
