This article is a book review of the book named “Turkic poets of Saeb Tabrizi era written by Dr. Hossein Mohammadzadeh Seddiq in ۲۰۱۳. The researcher has prepared this article based on the book review and the contents of the book are only briefly mentioned without any changes. According to Dr. Mohammadzadeh's book, the Safavid era is the heyday of Azerbaijani Turkish poetry. Iran is a country where most of the ruling dynasties were of Turkic origin until the last century and the Azerbaijanis created many dynasties in Iran including Mannai, Mades empire, Urartu, Jalayirid, Atabakan of Azerbaijan, Aq Qoyunlu, Qara Qoyunlu, Safavid and Qajar dynasties. Until the last century, the official language in the court, the army and the decrees was in Turkish(Azerbaijani Turkish). Most foreign ambassadors also learned Turkish to communicate with the people and they could communicate in this language from the Ottoman Empire to Russia, Central Asia, Afghanistan, Kashmir and northern China, and Persia. With the coming to power of the Pahlavi government supported by Britain Russian and western countries, the Turkish language and its use was banned in Iran, and there was an obstacle to the spread of Turkish literature in Iran. Furthermore, many Turkish books, especially in the palaces of Tabriz during the Pahlavi era were set on fire in ۱۹۴۶. But today there are efforts by Azerbaijanis of Iran to find their Azerbaijani works and literature in the past centuries. Besides divans (poetry) in Dari / Persian, Azerbaijani poets have always had divans in their native language; this article is based on the analysis of the Turkish divans of Tabrizian poets who were forced to move to Isfahan in the Safavid era. Despite being far from home, they tried to preserve their mother tongue and mention their origin in their works. In this article, examples of poems by three Tabrizian poets living in Isfahan, Taasire Tabrizi-Asriye Tabrizi-Qosiye Tabrizi- have been considered.
