The poetry of Cezerî Kasım Paşa, Prince Bayezid's treasurer in Amasya and later vizier, under the pen name Sâfî: his mastery of proverbs, his unique divan and the surviving couplets.
The thirty-one-couplet kaside to Hüseyin that opens the divan of Cezerî Kasım Paşa (Sâfî): praise, the mourning of all nature for Karbala, and a plea for intercession.
Sâfî's (Cezerî Kasım Paşa) seven-couplet ghazal with the refrain "to you": a sunless moon, sighs that move stones, crooked locks that lead straight, a beauty that enslaves sultans.
Sâfî's (Cezerî Kasım Paşa) five-couplet ghazal of the morning of union and morning wine: heart and tongue, Joseph, Job and Noah, and the rose season against the ascetic.
Sâfî's (Cezerî Kasım Paşa) ghazal with the refrain "why should it be": hyacinth hair, two kings over a ruined heart, sun and moon as mirror-bearers, fate arriving like the down.
Three couplets of Kasım Paşa (Sâfî) quoted by Sehî in the Heşt-Bihişt: a cypress that bears a rose, a lock on the cheek, and a saying warning against locks with a thousand tongues.
The opening couplet of Sâfî (Cezerî Kasım Paşa) quoted by Latîfî, Kınalızâde and Beyânî: warm against cold, strewing against opening, and a rose that can be read two ways.
A couplet of Sâfî (Cezerî Kasım Paşa) quoted by Latîfî: the dog-born rival came and went at the beloved's gathering, and no one even asked him "are you a dog or a man?"
An opening couplet of Sâfî (Cezerî Kasım Paşa) in Latîfî: a fairy beauty at whose sight a single sigh of the angels would set every heaven on fire, and the rhyme of angel and sphere.
A couplet of Sâfî (Cezerî Kasım Paşa) ending in the proverb "the ground has ears": likening sun and moon to the beloved's beauty would shame her, and the sky is set against the earth.
A couplet of Sâfî (Cezerî Kasım Paşa) reproaching the moon: the marks on its face, it says, are the shame it earned by imitating the beloved with her beauty spot.
The kıt'a Sâfî (Cezerî Kasım Paşa) wrote to ask a commander for a horse after his own died on campaign, woven with chess terms: vizier, pawn, bishop, knight, check and mate.
