In our study, the concepts of advice and counsel are synonymous, one of Turkish origin and the other of Arabic origin. Both concepts are identical in meaning. Advising another person on truth and beauty is the phrase used to guide them towards what is right. It is the effort of a more mature, experienced, and intelligent person to direct another towards good and sound advice, which is the term used for a set of spoken words to avoid bad habits and behaviors or to guide them towards goodness, considered sacred among people and having many benefits such as self-education for individuals. On the other hand, Cahit Külebi did not neglect to offer advice and counsel in his poems, incorporating them uniquely into his expressions.

We will begin our study after this abstract by examining the life of the poet and his literary works. Finally, we will delve into the concepts of advice and counsel in the poems of Cahit Külebi.
