Turkish literature, a tapestry woven with threads of diverse cultural influences, bears the distinct imprint of the Arabic and Persian poetic traditions. The ode, a central form in both these literatures, has left an indelible mark on Turkish poetry, shaping its structure, themes, and aesthetic sensibilities. This article explores the multifaceted impact of Arabic and Persian odes on Turkish literary landscape, highlighting the key elements of transmission, adaptation, and innovation that have enriched the genre in Turkish context. Early Encounters and Transmission: From the Abbasid Golden Age to the Seljuk Empire. The roots of this influence can be traced back to the Abbasid Caliphate (750-1258 CE), a period that witnessed a flourishing of Arabic literature, particularly poetry. The qasida, a long, lyrical ode with a specific structure and themes, became a dominant form of poetic expression. The Abbasids, with their vast empire, played a pivotal role in the transmission of Arabic culture and learning to the eastern regions, including present-day Turkey.  During the domination of the Arabs in the first centuries of Islam, Persian writing and literature declined and from the year 81 AH / 701-700 AD, Arabic was declared the official and state language, and the Caliphate gradually became stronger, and the Arabic language was used in other social and life matters.
