Meaning & History
Rewani was an Ottoman poet. Rewani wrote a Diwan dedicated to Selim I known for its ghazels, which sing in a gentle flowing manner of human and mystic love, most of which were later set to music. Also Rewani's Ishret-name was the first Ottoman Turkish poem with a bacchic theme, which inspired the saki-names genre that became popular a century later.
