  Maqāma, as one of the most original genres of Arabic literature, was also written in Hebrew, Syriac, and Persian. However, no original
  maqāma written in Turkish has hitherto been encountered. This research reveals a formerly unknown Turkish maqāma and presents its full text
  transliterated into Latin script and translation into modern Turkish and English. The maqāma, written by the 17th-century Turkish poet Nev'īzāde Atāyī,
  deals with a woman and her husband who appealed to a court seeking divorce. In the presence of a judge and other witnesses, they extol their own
  virtues and besmirch each other's evils in a highly artistic and entertaining manner. This maqāma echoes Hamadānī's Shamiyya, al-Harīrī's
  Tabriziyya (Arabic) and Hamīdī's Hukumat al-Zawjayn (Persian) in both style and theme. Therefore, this study also compare Turkish maqāma with
  Arabic and Persian counterparts, and uncover a successfully enriched example that handles a classical maqāma topic while simultaneously adhering to
  the technical features of the genre in a new language.
