Âfitâbî joined Prince Bayezid's circle in Amasya, was removed from it and ended his life preaching in retreat: his lost divan, his place in the anthologies and his surviving poems.
Âfitâbî Abdurrahman Çelebi of Prince Bayezid's circle at Amasya: the poems of his lost divan preserved in the anthologies, with original text and commentary.

Âfitâbî joined Prince Bayezid's circle in Amasya, was removed from it and ended his life preaching in retreat: his lost divan, his place in the anthologies and his surviving poems.

Âfitâbî's eight-couplet ghazal, linked by Âşık Çelebi to his passion for a youth named Çerâğ: a pun on fairy and comb, the hair-thin waist, the sun seeking the moon.

Three couplets from the kaside Âfitâbî wrote after his removal from Prince Bayezid's circle: the eyelash's arrow, an arrow fallen short and a warning to the wheel of fate.

The opening couplet the anthologies always call Âfitâbî's most famous: a tooth mark on the apple of the beloved's chin, the peach image and two readings of one word.

Âfitâbî's couplet built on the reed flute and the house: the heart's fire is known from the breath like the ney, a merry house from the sound within; a fine use of a proverb.

A couplet of Âfitâbî preserved only by Âşık Çelebi: a letter written as if by a bewitched pen, whose heading makes everyone who sees it fall in love.

A two-couplet admonition that Hüsameddin attributes to Âfitâbî and no other source preserves: a call to wake from heedlessness and the image of the five-times nevbet.
