Sohrab Sepehri is one of the five important poets who are known as the five stars of modern Iranian poetry. Sohrab influenced both his contemporary poets and poets who came after him. His works have attracted a lot of attention and read both in Iran and outside Iran. Sohrab's poems have been translated into different languages, including Turkish. Numerous academic studies have been made about the poet in and out of Iran and many works have been written. The book Mergê Reng has also been translated into Turkish, both in the poet's collective poems and independently.
The book named Mergê Reng is the second poetry book of Sohrab Sêpehri and the first poetry book of Heşt Ketab, which consists of Sêpehri's collective poems. It was published in 1330/1951, when Sêpehri was just 23 years old. In this book, which includes Sohrab's youth period poems, there are 22 poems and the book is seventy-one pages. 4 of these poems were sung in the form of square quatrains, and the remaining 18 poems were written in Nimai style.
The present study aims to contribute to a better understanding of the poems of Sohrab, who is also known and loved in our country, and especially his book Mergê Reng, through his poetry translations, and to introduce the poet and his aforementioned book to Turkish readers.
