Abstract:

 The first translation of the poem Khosrov and Shirin by the genius Azerbaijani poet Nizami Ganjavi in Turkish language belongs to Kharezmli Gutb and Fakhri. Both poets who lived in the 14th century translated the poem into Turkish by making certain additions to the work they translated, shortening some parts and adding new verses. This was also considered acceptable in medieval Turkish translations. The poet of the Golden Horde, Kharezmli Gutb translated the poem Khosrov and Shirin into Turkish for the first time in 1341 and presented it to Tini bey and Maleyka khanum. Gutbs translation was retranslated and edited by Berke Fagih in Egypt in 1383. The only copy of the work is kept in the National Library of Paris. Najib, 1979: p. 31 In 1367, Fakhreddin Yagub ibn Muhammad Fakhri presented the translation of Khosrov and Shirin to Isa Bey from the Aydinogullar dynasty. German scientist Barbara Flemming conducted the first research on the work and presented it to the world science in 1974 together with Fakhris handwriting. The only copy of the manuscript is kept in the Marburg library in Germany. Both Fakhri and Gutb have made great contributions to the enrichment of Turkish language and literature.

 Dahi Azerbaycan şairi Nizami Gencevinin Hüsrev ü Şirin adlı mesnevisinin türkçeye ilk çevirisini yapan Harezmli Kutb ve Fahri olmuştur. 14. yüzyılda yaşayan her iki şair de çevirdikleri esere bazı eklemeler yaparak, bazı bölümleri kısaltarak ve yeni dizeler ekleyerek eseri Türkçeye tercüme etmişlerdir. Ortaçağ türkçesi çevirilerinde de bu durum kabul edilebilir görülüyordu. Altınordu şairi Harezmli Kutb, Hüsrev ü Şirin mesnevisini ilk kez 1341 yılında Türkçeye tercüme ederek Tini bek ve Meleyke Hatuna sunmuştur. Kutbun çevirisi 1383-te Mısırda Berke Fakih tarafından yeniden çevrilerek düzenlendi. Eserin tek nüshası Paris Milli Kütüphanesinde muhafaza edilmektedir. 1367 yılında Fahreddin Yakub bin Muhammed Fahri, Aydınoğullar hanedanından olan İsa Beye Hüsrev ü Şirin mesnevisini takdim etmişdir. Esere ilişkin ilk araştırmayı alman bilim insanı Barbara Flemming gerçekleştirdi ve Fahrinin el yazısıyla birlikte 1974 yılında bilim dünyasına sundu. El yazması yegane nüsha olarak Almanyadakı Marburg kütüphanesinde korunmaktadır. Türk dili ve Edebiyatının zenginleşmesinde gerek Fahri, gerekse de Kutbun katkıları inkar edilemez.
