In this study, Hayreddin of Crete al-Mawlawi and his work titled Mısır Yolunda İlhâmâtı Cihâd were examined. The author was one of the volunteers who were enlisted from Kastamonu to join Mücâhidîn-i Mevleviyye troop unit, which was established by Mawlawis during the World War I and served for a period of three years and a half in Syrian-Palestinian Front. Hayreddin of Crete had written this work, consisting of poems in the forms of eulogies and sermons, during travelling with Mawlawi volunteers from Kastamonu to Damascus. The poet wrote this work with an aim to address genuine feelings, words of wisdom, and eloquent speeches of people that he had met in cities and towns during travelling and to articulate the patriotic feelings of people. The work begins with an introduction, then continues with poems praising the Prophet Muhammad, poems related to Mawlawiyah and Mawlawis, followed by poems about Mehmed V Reşâd and Djemal Pasha, and ends with a brief epilogue. In this study, firstly, a brief information on Mawlawi Regiment will be provided, and then the identity of the author as well as the contents of his work titled Mısır Yolunda İlhâmât-ı Cihâd, which could be described, in a sense, as a book of travels written in verse, will be discussed.
