Nelmî, a müderris poet born in the Hacı Hamza quarter of Amasya: his life as recorded by Hüsameddin, his divan in Ankara and his six surviving poems.

The life, divan and surviving poems of Nelmî, born in the Hacı Hamza quarter, made a müderris in Istanbul, who ended his short life in Amasya, as recorded by Hüsameddin.

Nelmî's ghazal with the refrain "etdim seni", written extempore when he fell in love with his teacher's son: a lover who claims the beloved's beauty as his own work.

Nelmî's two-couplet kıt‘a addressed to his heart: plain advice that the friend one seeks lies within oneself and that no faithfulness is found among the world's beauties.

Two couplets on the unity of God preserved by Hüsameddin from a ghazal Nelmî wrote in his last years, describing God as at once hidden and manifest.

Three couplets surviving from a ghazal by Nelmî with the refrain "âleme": a Sufi-coloured view of love that sees every beauty in the world as the reflection of one beloved.

The ghazal with the refrain "aglasun" that Nelmî gave Hüsameddin at their last meeting: a complaint woven from the wine of grief, the Karbala of sorrow and the fire of longing.

The joint ghazal with the refrain "aşk" that Nelmî and Sabrî wrote by composing couplets in turn: divine unity, the inability to comprehend, and the ineffable station of love.
