Karagöz, which is a performing art that combines dream and reality, and expression and humor, is aimed at the audience's understanding that the world is temporary through the mysticism of the curtain, which is read by Hacivat and written in the genre of ghazal verse from our classical poetry. At the heart of Karagöz play is to express that we live in an artificial world and to emphasize this. The greatest aim of the game's masters in the games is to reveal the truth behind this artificiality and explain the meaning of existence. In order to reveal the truth in question and explain the meaning of existence, it is essential to make an introduction with curtain ghazels before starting the real game. In most of the curtain gazelles, the curtain is first defined, and then the contents of the curtain are explained in the couplets, respectively, the creator of the game, Pîr Şeyh Küşterî, is remembered and prayed. Curtain ghazels must reflect these issues briefly to the audience. It is possible to understand the meaning of the mysticism of the Karagöz play from the curtain ghazels, which are also handed down and teach while entertaining.
