Özet:

 Hüsn ü Aşk, regarded as one of the masterpieces of classical Turkish literature, has a manuscript housed in the Süleymaniye Library, Halet Efendi Collection, under number 171, written in the authors autograph. In comparison to other early copies of the work, this draft manuscript is of paramount significance as it reveals the path Şeyh Gâlib followed during the composition process of Hüsn ü Aşk, the stages of writing and publishing that it underwent, and the interventions he made while finalizing the text. This study compares the draft manuscript to other early copies to identify the transformations of the text from its initial composition to its final published form. The comparisons reveal that Şeyh Gâlib made various modifications to the structure and aesthetic composition of the work by altering certain words at the line and couplet levels, adding or removing couplets, changing their placement, and revising section headings. Notably, it is determined that some sections were written last, certain couplets were added or omitted later, and the order of couplets was rearranged to enhance the narrative flow. These findings demonstrate that Hüsn ü Aşk is not merely a product of spiritual or intuitive inspiration but also a meticulously crafted work transformed through literary and aesthetic considerations. Furthermore, they establish Şeyh Gâlib as a poet, conscious literary strategist, and masterful storyteller with a remarkable sense of narrative construction.

 Klasik Türk edebiyatının şaheserlerinden kabul edilen Hüsn ü Aşkın Süleymaniye Kütüphanesi Halet Efendi Koleksiyonu 171 numarada bulunan nüshası müellifinin hatt-ı destiyledir. Bu müsvedde nüsha, eserin diğer kadim nüshalarıyla karşılaştırıldığında, Şeyh Gâlibin Hüsn ü Aşkın telif sürecinde nasıl bir yol izlediğini, eseri ne tür bir yazım ve yayım sürecinden geçirdiğini ve esere son şeklini verirken ne türden müdahalelerde bulunduğunu göstermesi bakımından son derece önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, söz konusu müsvedde ile kadim diğer nüshalar karşılaştırılmış ve Hüsn ü Aşkın yazımdan yayıma geçirdiği değişim ve dönüşümün belirlenmesine çalışılmıştır. Yapılan karşılaştırmalar, Şeyh Gâlibin mısra ve beyit bazında birtakım kelimeleri değiştirmek, beyitler eklemekçıkarmak, beyitlerin yerlerini tebdil etmek ve bölüm başlıklarında yeniden düzenlemeler yapmak suretiyle eserin kurgusuna ve estetik yapısına çeşitli müdahalelerde bulunduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Özellikle Şeyh Gâlibin eseri yazarken bazı bölümleri en son yazdığı, bazı beyitleri sonradan eklediği yahut çıkardığı ve metnin akışını güçlendirmek için bazı beyitlerin yerlerini değiştirdiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu bulgular, Hüsn ü Aşkın yalnızca ilhamla şekillenen bir metin değil, aynı zamanda titizlikle inşa edilen, edebî ve estetik kaygılar doğrultusunda dönüştürülen bir eser; Şeyh Gâlibin ise şair kimliği kadar bilinçli bir anlatı stratejisine ve güçlü bir kurgu yeteneğine sahip bir edip olduğunu göstermektedir.
