The exploration of divans of Sebk-i Hindi poets reveals numerous qasidas written for various sultans and statesmen. This genre is not the only genre that was used for contributing to the patron-patronized relation even though this praising patron genre is also used for the same reason. Müzeyyel ghazals and qasidas entitled as ghazals can also considered as poems written for praising the patrons. In addition if the poet praises himself in his poem, the poem is considered as fahriye (self-praising poem). In this paper after introducing müzeyyel ghazals, ghazals and qasidas entitled as ghazals from the divans of seven Sebk-i Hindi poets (Naili, Şehri, İsmeti, Neşati, Fehim-i Kadim, Şeyh Galib ve A. Sami) are explored. This paper aims to determine for whom these poets wrote their müzeyyel ghazals. Beside that how they praised themselves with this poems is also explored. In this paper also the structural features of müzeyyel ghazals and qasidas, which are entitled as ghazals but considered as qasida due to containing prays are tried to be determined.
