There are basic topics that are considered in literary studies. One of them is the subject of literary genre. The problem of the inability to accurately determine the characteristics of the literary genre is increasing more and more in the literary periods. Many literary works have been brought to light with the increasing literature studies in classical Turkish literature, and as there are significant text examples in a literary genre, a lot of distance has been covered in verse and prose genre studies. Despite this, when a period covering approximately seven hundred years is considered together with the historical course; it would not be wrong to say that the literature of the period was as well known as the tip of the iceberg. From this point of view, the existing knowledge will be changed, transformed or supplemented in accordance with the nature of science with new literary studies of classical Turkish literature and the study of existing studies in various aspects. In the related study; The Mehmed Lebib Efendi’s elegy tastir, whose National Library Manuscripts Collection is located in the journal registered with the name of “Mecmûʿa-i Eşʿar” at 06 Mil Yz A 377, will be published. Then, by examining the verse type in the context of the verse type, attention will be paid to the verse type of the verse referred to as elegy to the researchers.
