Rûhî Fâzıl Çelebi, son of the shaykh al-Islam Zenbilli Ali Efendi: a life divided between Hüsameddin's Amasya-born professor and historian and the anthologies' beautiful poet who died young.
Rûhî Fâzıl Çelebi, son of Zenbilli Ali Efendi: a poet whose birthplace and age are disputed, who died young, and nine pieces of his verse.

Rûhî Fâzıl Çelebi, son of the shaykh al-Islam Zenbilli Ali Efendi: a life divided between Hüsameddin's Amasya-born professor and historian and the anthologies' beautiful poet who died young.

The opening couplet of Rûhî Fâzıl Çelebi, who died young, preserved by Latîfî and Kınalızâde: empty eye and heart, a soul full of an image, a beloved in the fourth heaven.

Rûhî Fâzıl Çelebi says the fire of love outlasts death and will scorch the grave if the rent in the breast is not sewn up; Hüsameddin reads the couplet differently.

Rûhî Fâzıl Çelebi's couplet on the moon that oversteps its bounds to rival the beloved's cheek: the double senses of hadd and dâyire, and an explanation of the moon's spots.

In this opening couplet by Rûhî Fâzıl Çelebi the sun and moon, which roam the whole sky every day, become fickle beauties who may be forgiven for imitating the beloved's face.

Rûhî Fâzıl Çelebi's opening couplet likening a lock of hair to a wick and the face to a sun that burns without one, Latîfî's reply, and Hüsameddin's merging of the two.

In this jesting kıt'a on the Jewish physician brought to his sickbed, Rûhî Fâzıl Çelebi joins yellow headgear to yellow bile; the poem also carries the prejudice of its age.

Two couplets Rûhî Fâzıl Çelebi composed for a friend leaving on pilgrimage: the occasion told by Sehî, a lover moaning like a caravan bell and a moon that moves off with the caravan.

Likening a fickle beauty's faithfulness to a month's pay gone before mid-week, Rûhî Fâzıl Çelebi takes his simile from the daily life of the madrasa world.

The bathhouse ghazal given to Rûhî in a single copy of Sehî: a silver-bodied beauty entering the bath, praise limb by limb, the refrain güzel and the copyist's note behind it.
