Abstract
Among the works of Idris Badlisi, there is a short treatise entitled “Khazāniyeh”, which has not been introduced and corrected so far. In this treatise, the author has brought poems in proportion to the subject that are worth considering and examining in terms of function. This research, which was conducted in a library manner and based on the analysis and explanation of the poems in this treatise, seeks to answer the following questions: Given the historical content of this treatise and its small volume (7 pages), what was the author’s motivation and purpose in bringing significant verses from himself or other famous poets? And what function do the poems in this treatise have in the text, and which of the functions do they belong to most frequently?
      The results of the research show that Badlisi's education and his proficiency in literature and composition, which earned him the position of special secretary to the AqQoyunlu court, as well as his great interest in poetry, played a significant role in producing these poems. He combined his text with poetry and literary techniques in such a way that the result is historical in terms of content and literary in terms of form. Following the style of his predecessors, Badlisi created a magnificent artistic and literary work in addition to recording history, and he also paid attention to the aesthetic aspect in it. He used various poetic functions in this work, but the literary-arrangement and argumentative functions with high frequency have a greater share than other functions.
