Özet:

 Rahimi is a poet of classical Turkish literature who lived in Bursa in the sixteenth century. He was known to be a good calligrapher as well as a poet. Among the sources providing detailed information about his biography, Aşık Çelebis Meşairüş-Şuara is the most important. His only known work today is his mathnawi Seba-Seyyare, which is also mentioned by Aşık Çelebi. The only manuscript of the work is registered in the Manisa Manuscript Library, Manisa Akhisar Zeynelzade Collection, number 2132. Rahimi fell in love with Keyvanzade Mustafa, who was famous for his beauty in Bursa, around 940 1533-1534 and narrated this love adventure in his work Seba-Seyyare, which he completed in 945 1538-1539. Although the poet states that his work consists of a total of 1000 couplets, a total of 990 couplets are recorded in the manuscript we have. After the tawhit, munajat and naat sections, the natural and architectural beauties of Bursa are described. The seven beautiful men of the city are then mentioned in connection with the sky. Rahimi falls in love with Keyvanzade Mustafa, whom he places on the seventh floor of the sky in his dream, and when he wakes up, he wanders around various gardens of Bursa to find this person. When he fails to meet his beloved, he realizes that he must move away from figurative love and turn towards the love of God. The skilful use of figures of speech gives the narrative a literary style and makes Seba-Seyyare a successful mathnawi.

 Rahîmî, on altıncı yüzyılda, Bursada yaşamış bir klasik Türk edebiyatı şairidir. Şairliğinin yanında iyi bir hattat olduğu da bilinmektedir. Biyografisi hakkında ayrıntılı bilgiler veren kaynakların başında Âşık Çelebinin Meşâirüş-Şuarâ adlı tezkiresi gelir. Bugün için bilinen tek eseri, Âşık Çelebinin de söz konusu ettiği, hasbihal türündeki Seba-Seyyâre adlı mesnevisidir. Eserin şimdilik tespit edilebilen tek nüshası, Manisa Yazma Eser Kütüphanesi, Manisa Akhisar Zeynelzâde Koleksiyonu, 2132 numarada kayıtlıdır. Rahîmî, 940 1533-1534 yılı civarında, Bursada güzelliğiyle meşhur Keyvanzâde Mustafaya âşık olmuş ve 945 1538-1539 yılında tamamladığı Seba-Seyyâre adlı mesnevisinde bu aşk macerasını anlatmıştır. Şair, eserinin toplam 1000 beyitten oluştuğunu belirtiyorsa da elimize geçen nüshada 990 beyit kayıtlıdır. Eserde, tevhit, münacat ve naat bölümlerinin ardından Bursanın tabiat güzelliklerinden bahsedilir ve bazı mimari yapılarına değinilir. Sonrasında şehrin yedi erkek güzeli, gökyüzüyle bağlantılı olarak tavsif edilir. Rahîmî, rüyasında, göğün yedinci katıyla ilişkilendirdiği yerde Keyvanzâde Mustafayı görür ve ona âşık olur. Uyandığında onu bulabilmek için Bursanın bahçelerini dolaşır. Sevdiğine kavuşamayınca mecazi aşktan uzaklaşıp ilahi aşka tutulmak gerektiğini idrak eder ve eser sonlanır. Ustaca yapılan söz sanatları anlatıyı edebî bir üsluba büründürerek Seba-Seyyârenin başarılı bir mesnevi olarak temayüz etmesini sağlar.
