It can be obviously seen that, an important change process started, on the social and governmental structure of Ottoman Empire with Tanzimat Period. Our intellectuals turned their face toward the western World from that times on. In this period, a new literature approach is to emerge. However, the main force which has nurtured the poets of this period, is the classic poetry and prose approach. Nâmık Kemâl, as one of the first representatives of a new literature approach comes after a literature tradition of 600 years, grow in this classical literature atmosphere and he wrote his first poems in Classical Ottoman Poetry form.While he was writing his poem satirizing Mahmûd Nedîm Pasha who is the grand vizier of the period, he was under the effect of the elegy which has written by Me‟âlî, of 16th century, for his cat.This poem has taken place in a humour magazine named “Diyojen”. It has been written in same prosody and similar rhyme with Me‟âlî‟s original one and so that it can be called as “nazîres”. It can be seen that, Nâmık Kemâl‟s Cat Elegy is a satire and Me‟âlî‟s Gürbe is in form of “hezliyat”. Thus in this study, firstly the concepts of satire and hezl will take place and then, biographies of the poets will be presented. Finally, the poems, their contents and forms will be examined.
