The word comes from the Arabic "nazir" which means "one of a pair, value." The writing of nazires is called "tanzir" or "doing tanzir." The nazire tradition passed into Turkish literature from Iranian literature. Iranian poets give the name of cevab to the nazire. Nazires written in jest or for mockery are called tezhil or hezl)
