Suleiman the Magnificent, in addition to being the sultan who reigned the longest in the Ottoman Empire and giving the state its golden ages in various fields, is also a very important figure in our literary history. He is the best of the poets of the dynasty with the poems he wrote under the pseudonym of Muhibbî, and he is an important figure who can be considered a first-class poet next to the top figures of his time such as Fuzûlî (d. 963/1556) and Bâkî (d. 1008/1600). The sultan, who asked the poets of the period, especially Bâkî, to imitate the poems he wrote, wanted to show/weigh his literary power by being aware of the tradition of parallelism. In our opinion, this work is a text that emerged as a different manifestation of this desire, as far as its content can be understood. Today T.R. In the text contained in a document in the State Archives Ottoman Archives, the sultan's ghazal was commented/praised by a person named Halîl. The study primarily aims to present this text to the scientific world and to reveal that archive records are also a source for literary history and literary texts.
