Ehlî's couplet saying that thieves seize the high offices while the honest go empty-handed: the play on doğru and uğru and the poet's own disappointments in office.
A lover who answers the beloved's offer of a hand to kiss with "Which hand?": the language of ceremony in Ehlî's couplet and a coy question hinting at the lip.

Ehlî's couplet found in three sources: the turmoil a cypress-statured beloved raises in the garden, the words kıyâmet, kıyâm and kâmet, and textual variants.

Ehlî's couplet about a beloved who first knows the lover and then says "I do not know him": a scene of hearsay in the reportative mood and variants in three sources.

A lover who trades his life for one curse from the beloved: in Ehlî's couplet love turns into a bargain, with the market phrase al da sun and a curse counted as a favour.
Ehlî's matla about a beloved who ignores the lover on the road and looks at the sky: the opposition of heaven and dust, and Beyânî's different and tighter text.
