Süleyman Nazif is one of the poets and authors who were the members of Servet-i Fünûn (Wealth of Knowledge) society. He is mostly recognized for his prose works. Patriotism is the main theme of both his poetry and prose. Firâk-ı Irak is one of his works that consists of verse and prose sections and elaborate the theme of patriotism intensely. In this work, the foundation of the theme of patriotism is the sadness created by Ottomans' loss of Iraq, particularly Baghdad. "Fuzûlî-i Bağdâdî'den Nef'î-i Erzurumî'ye", which is included in this book and the focus of this research, is a piece that consists of both verse and prose parts, and features the theme of patriotism after Erzurum and Baghdad were lost to the Ottoman Empire. This text is an interesting narrative due to its plot, too. It shows that the intellectuals of the last period of the Ottoman Empire, like Nazif, saw large expanses of land as their homeland and were aware of living in an empire. This study will make a general analysis of the work first, and then, attempt to determine the conceptual correspondences of the concepts of homeland and nationality in the intellectuals who lived with the awareness of living in an empire
