Summary/Abstract: Sidkî Baba, the child of a Dede Kargın tribe member family from Malatya, was born in Tarsus Yenice in 1865. He died in 1928 in Harız, a village of Merzifon where he spent part of his life and was buried there. The poet, whose real name is Zeynel Abidin, used the Sidkî or Pervane pseudonym in his poems. Sidkî Baba is one of the important poets of Alevi-Bektashi culture. Sidkî Baba, who is a member of a branch of Ahmed Yesevi lineage in Anatolia, produced poems of both syllable and prosodic forms. Under the influence of his education and the sect he has developed, he has worked on the subjects of religious-sufism. The last book published about Sidkî Baba belongs to Baki Yaşa Altinok. Altınok, in this book called Sidkî Baba Divani, has included 772 poems of the poet. When these poems are analyzed, it can be seen that Sidkî Baba used many different types of poems and genres such as dirges, elegies, epics, dewriyes and guzellemes. In this study, the dirges and elegies of Sidkî Baba will be examined comparatively in terms of the origins of the words used.
