The duality of literal and metaphorical love, exemplified by the symbols of the boy and the girl, is explored by classical Kurdish poets in Middle Kurmanji (Fahnai and Bidil). This duality is clearly reflected in the poetry of these classical poets, who were heavily influenced by Nali. However, each poet approaches the issue from a different angle and perspective. Nali explicitly chooses the girl, viewing love metaphorically. Fahnai, influenced by Nali, favors the boy, but his influence is reversed, as he views love literally and rejects metaphorical love. Bidil, on the other hand, clearly shows the influence of Nali, choosing the girl and supporting Nali's view with new imagery and ideas. The impact of Nali is less pronounced in Bidil compared to the other poets. From this perspective, we will examine Nali's influence on other poets, particularly in the poem "If your love is metaphorical, then... only the girl," while also presenting the poets' individual visions. Examples include: (Fahna'i, Bidl) about love, because they benefited, like Nali, from the terms (boy and girl). Within this framework, poets played an important role in creating the structure of the literary text, its elements and content, and transporting the reader to the world of oral poetry. This phenomenon is a conscious choice by the poet, which is an inseparable part of the poet's identity and unique writing style.
