Sheikh Gâlib, one of the distinguished personalities of the eighteenth century, is one of the Mevlevi poets who left his mark on the field of classical Turkish poetry. When the poet's poems are examined, it is seen that his poems contain deep meanings with his unique style, symbols and dreams he used. In addition to these features in his poems, the effects of the poet's being a Mevlevi sheikh were also embodied in his poems. The poet's ghazal with eyler semâ rhymed, which is the subject of the study, also contains these features. Therefore, some characteristics and mystical images of Mevlevism appear to be an aesthetic element in this ghazal, as in his other poems. In the introduction part of the study, the life of the poet, Mevlevi, dhikr and sema are mentioned. Afterwards, the commentary on the ghazal, which consisted of seven couplets, was started. In this poem, whose annotation is made, the idea that every object in the world of existence is in a state of attraction under the influence of divine love in general terms has been processed, and this state has been given by associating it with the sema, which is the Mevlevi dhikr. It has been tried to contribute both to the poet's literary aspect and the field of commentary by making the commentary of this ghazal, which has rich connotations.
