İşte bu malzemelerden biri de ateştir. Pek çok şair, eserlerinde ateş temini kullanmıştır. Ateş temi, Türk edebiyatının önemli bir halkasını oluşturan Divan şiirinde de sıklıkla kullanmıştır ve zamanla bir mazmun hüviyetine bürünerek klasik Türk şirinin çok kullanılan, önemli mazmunlarından biri hâline gelmiştir. Klasik Türk edebiyatında ateş kavramının kullanıldığı yerlere bakıldığında mısra-ı bercesteler, ateş gazelleri, ateşe dair renkli imajlar ve kelime oyunları karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Özellikle Sebk-i Hindî şairleri ateş mazmununu orijinal bir şekilde kullanmışlardır. 17. yüzyılda yaşamış ve Sebk-i Hindî üslübunu benimsemiş bir şair olan Tecellî de şiirlerinde bu mazmunu başarılı bir şekilde kullanmıştır. Bu çalışmada genel olarak mazmun kavramı ele alınarak, ateş mazmununa değinilecek ve bu mazmunun Tecellî Divanı'ndaki kullanımı incelenecektir
