Abstract
The story of Mehmet Asaf, who has works in many genres, named Bihter and Muhlis, which is the subject of our study, is based on the fact that two young people, Bihter and Muhlis, loved each other at an early age, got engaged, but could not get married. The work consists of eight text circles and is in the form of a classic story as it proceeds on a straight line. The beginning of the text, in which open spaces are more preferred, takes place in Istanbul and ends in Bursa. The time element is not included in the work. However, indirectly, the reader is expected to take the time due to the cholera epidemic and Hocapaşa Fire. Although the staff is quite large, there is no person other than Bihter and Muhlis, about whom information is given. The language of the text is plain in some places and slick in others. The themes used are love, disaster, heredity, epidemic and music culture.
