In nearly all periods of time, poets and writers have used common proverbs, folk-sayings, and idioms in their works, in order to make more sense and to express their feelings and thoughts in a better way. Divan poets also successfully used these techniques, enriching their works with popular language. Certainly, a language accepts or rejects words and phrases based on their ability to communicate a specific sentiment; the enduring power of proverbs, idioms, and folk-sayings, passing from generation to generation by word of mouth, is evidence of their success. Therefore, in this study, after giving some information about this subject in general, we review the topic in relaition to the poems of Hâkim, one of the Divan poets of the 18 th century.
