Thanks to his father, Burh¨¡n¨©, who was Sultan Alp Arslan¡¯s poet, Mo¡®ezz¨© lived around the palace and has a d¨©w¨¡n with 19.000 verses especially consisting of poems written for Seljuk sultans and statesmen such as Maliks¨¡h (d. 485/1092), Barky¨¡ruk (d. 498/1104), Mohammed Tapar (d. 511/1118) and Sancar (d. 522/1157) since his childhood. It is possible to find the information about many historical figures mentioned and not mentioned in the fundamental historical resources. One of these figures, who Mo¡®ezz¨© praises in his D¨©w¨¡n and about whom there was not enough information in the historical resources, is M¨¡h Malek H¨¡tun (M¨¡h Malek Lady) (d. 487/1094), daughter of Maliks¨¡h with Terken H¨¡tun (Terken Lady) and the sister of Sultan Sancar. It has great importance to study how M¨¡h Malek H¨¡tun takes a place in Mo¡®ezz¨©¡¯s D¨©w¨¡n and world of thought. On one hand some inferences can be gained in terms of characteristic features of M¨¡h Malek H¨¡tun that Mo¡®ezz¨© selected to include in his work, on the other hand information can be gained about the existence of M¨¡h Malek H¨¡tun in literary and historic texts. In this context, it is clear that statements and information given by Mo¡®ezz¨© about the praises of M¨¡h Malek H¨¡tun is notable in terms of both politics and history for Islamic and Turkish world %K Em£¿r Mu¡®izz£¿ %K B¨¹y¨¹k Sel£¿uklu Devleti %K Sel£¿uklular %K Mah Melek Hatun %K £¿ah Hatun %K Melik£¿ah %K Sencer %K Terken Hatun %U http://dergipark.org.tr/nusha/issue/41856/464023
