The Use of Arabic Words in Contemporary Turkish POETRY.THE Poem (Words of Kilis) by the Poet Mustafa Alpaydin Is an Example

The languages with which God has honored His servants, believers and non-believers, are all one of His signs and one of His effects. It is natural for human languages to borrow words from each other due to several factors, including religion, juxtaposition, mixing, and so on. The Turkish language borrowed many words from the Arabic language, and the Islamic religion was the main factor in this borrowing. Through this research, I wanted to show a small amount of contemporary Turkish poetry’s borrowing of Arabic words that the poet used in his poetic experience. The choice fell on the poet Mustafa Alp Aydin. Because he is one of the most prominent contemporary poets in the Turkish state of Kilis, adjacent to the Syrian border, and the president of the Kilis Poets and Writers Association. I chose his poem (The Words of Kels) to be the subject of study in this research. Because it contains quite a few Arabic words that distinguish the dialect of Kilis from others, I wanted this study to be one of the research lamps that illuminate the way for researchers in this type of studies. The importance of the research is evident in its treatment of a poet who has not been studied before, in the fact that this poet belongs to a state adjacent to Arab geography, and in his treatment of this topic in Turkish poetry and not in other types of speech. The research adopts the methods of description, analysis, induction, and deduction. It describes the Arabic words contained in this poem, analyzes them linguistically, and extrapolates the law of their use in the studied poem as a model of contemporary Turkish poetry that used Arabic words, and reaches conclusions based on this extrapolation
