Kerbelâ hadisesi, edebî eserlerde izhar-ı matem ve susuzluk remzi etrafında muteber bir şekilde tahayyül ettirilen sahneler, resmedilen ağıt tablosu içerisinde savaş ve kahramanlık manzaralarıyla yer almıştır. Hz. Hüseyin’in soyunun yüceliği, şahsi özellikleri, Ehl-i beyt’e reva görülen zulüm ve bu zulme ortak olanların telini merkezinde tahrir kılınan konu, Hz. Hüseyin’i sürekli yâd etmeye vesile olacak şekilde ifade bulmuştur. Pek çok yazınsal faaliyetin merkezinde temas edilen hususlar, ayrı bir muhteva ve üslup temelinde Mehmed Nâzım Paşa tarafından kaleme alınmıştır.
