Seven couplets that each end on "revnak" (lustre): a cheek glowing with wine, a room lit by candles, a moon adorned with stars, the ruby of Badakhshan and Sadi's Gulistan with its chapters.
The ghazal of a lover who hopes to revive with the last drop poured on the earth: a head ready to hang from the saddle like game to kiss the stirrup, and a hundred-patched cloak.
Six charges against the beloved: a cruel beloved turns the lover into Mecnun and Korah, makes his tears the Nile and the Oxus, and ruins Avnî anew just as he had grown used to parting.
A ghazal in which the wounds too tear their collars: a lip that gives others life yet kills the lover, a fearless soul-bird and an image summoned by a torn breast.
A second poem calling the beloved to account in the refrain of ghazal 38: a cheek that wounds the rose, a cypress enslaved then freed, a threshing floor of moles, a lover denied her sword.
A ghazal that names a condition in every couplet: who seeks the lip must forget the stature, a fire tears cannot quench, love's horse running till doomsday and a tavern vaulted by the sky.
A ghazal of poetic aetiology with the refrain "senüñ" (yours): sun and moon as buyers, a sulking full moon, the cypress upside down in water and a narcissus trembling with envy.
A short-metre ghazal in which the lover speaks to his own heart: show the faithless one your love, never cease lamenting, and a beauty who scorns a penniless beggar.
A ghazal built on the imperative "eylegil" (do): a lover content to be remembered even for cruelty, a pine freed after being circled over the head, advice to the rival and letters of sighs.
Five couplets on roses and wine: a river of the bleeding heart carrying a rose petal, bunches of roses in the cup, a couplet playing on tulip names and a heart that refuses every crown.
Couplets that explain an act by a rule: a heart-bird drawn to the cheek like a salamander to fire, a rival unmoved as rock and a parrot drawn to sugared words.
The ghazal holding the salamander couplet that Doğan counts a masterpiece: a lash that kills like Moses, a salamander living in fire, a beloved whose very promise is torment.
The only muhammes in the divan: a lament in seven stanzas, each closing with the refrain "Göñül eyvây göñül vây göñül eyvây göñül", addressed to the lover's own heart.
A ghazal apparently written for a beauty with a shaven head: a sun-lamp that needs no wick, a beloved of whose hair no news can be had, and a Paradise not entered without sacrifice.
A ghazal not in the main manuscript, from the Pervâne Bey Mecmuası: a heart-bird that roams the world and settles on a cypress, a heart overflowing like the Meriç and a sleeper woken.
Six couplets of a lover speaking as king of love: his crown the dust of the beloved's feet, his throne her street, and an army whose dust becomes kohl for the stars.
A ghazal of writing with the refrain "yazam" (let me write): fire from the pen, a prayer read over the sword, tears given to the seas and grief written on the sky.
A ghazal with the refrain "idelüm" (let us) calling friends to the tavern: serving the Magian elder, climbing from the wine jar to Sinai, a "cup" for the dry ascetic and wine as a mirror.
Another ghazal of invitation with the refrain "olalum" (let us be): to bloom like roses at union, become Cem on Kâvus's throne, grow intimate with the grape's daughter, and be men.
A ghazal of transformations: a street turned tulip bed by tears, a lover leaving home like musk, a tomb built from stones of cruelty and a heart's church adorned with idols.
An eight-couplet ghazal of wisdom and wine, missing its opening: the world-showing cup instead of the histories of Cem and Alexander, a friend who turns enemy and the tavern as sole refuge.
Six couplets on beauty: a lover urging the architect of cruelty to hurry, and a palace where the face is sultan, the brow chamberlain, the eye executioner.
The ghazal of a lover whose grave will breathe the scent of faithfulness: a nightingale that gets thorns from the rose cheek, a couplet built on chess pieces and a lap full of pearls.
A ghazal built as a garden scene: a rose buttoning its rose-coloured shirt with buds, buds that fall silent, jasmine and wild rose scattering their wealth and grass kept wet with tears.
A ghazal drawing beauty as a world-conquering sultan: a musk tent of hair, a throne of cheek, two cups offered by the brows, and a beloved Avnî cannot summon however he rules.
The ghazal that opens "whoever sees Galata sets no heart on Paradise": a Christian beauty with Frankish ways, a lover who forgets the mosque, and Avnî pictured with girdle and cross.
A ghazal with the refrain "var iken" (while I have): a lover who serves no other while he has a crowned king, autumn amid spring, and grief powerless against the tavern's fortress.
Kohl, Zülfikar and red ink: dust that lights the eye, a dagger hung like a Zülfikar picture to guard the heart, and Avnî's verse copied in tears.
A ghazal from the anthologies: a soul circling the threshold crying "labbayk", musk fleeing to Cathay in shame, a poor man burning a mat on his head, and the huma's shadow.
A repetition in every couplet: an idol building cruelty, a beloved flowing like a soul through the city, a sun rising from a veil, and Avnî buying the glance with his life.
On arrows of the glance loaded in the quiver of the brow, union bought though its cloth be flawed, an infidel eye and a Jesus-natured lip, and a house of parting visited only by grief.
The ghazal whose last couplet names "mülk-i 'Osmân", the realm of Osman, granted to Avnî for serving beauty's king; the two senses of "var ise" and dogs glad at his death.
A night without the beloved: a beloved who does not come, a candle unlit, a promise broken, and Avnî claiming his verse would make Nizâmî, Sadi and Salman jealous.
A ghazal made known to scholars only in 2015: cypresses rising to serve, lashes that sweep the threshold, idols stranded in the church and Avnî wishing to pillow his head on the doorstone.
A tavern ghazal addressed to the cupbearer and the elder of the temple: a heart's building gone to ruin, the secret of wine, a cask emptied upstairs and the fire Moses saw on Sinai.
A warning to the heart to keep away from beauties: grief that debases, a master rider who scatters one like dust, and a beloved shamed by her mercy.
