Zârî Mehmed Çelebi of the Tokatîzâde family, secretary in Prince Mustafa's Amasya divan: his life and the five couplets preserved by Latîfî.

Zârî Mehmed Çelebi of the Tokatîzâde family, secretary in Prince Mustafa's Amasya divan: his handwriting, his wine parties, his fate after the prince's death and five couplets.

Zârî's opening couplet preserved by Latîfî: the reversed logic of a libertine whose limbs fail him without pure wine and whose reason returns only when drunk, and the foot-cup pun.

Zârî's couplet teasing whoever gave wine its name: the image of the daughter of the vine, a cursing epithet, the rhyme of harâb and şarâb and two possible readings.

Zârî's matla for a youth in a golden üsküf cap, recorded by Latîfî, Kınalızâde and Hüsameddin: a headdress that glitters with images of moon, sun and candle.

Zârî's couplet teasing silver-bodied beauties and bankrupt lovers: the double sense of sîm as silver skin and silver coin, the word zelle-bend and a jest from everyday life.

Zârî's matla on the wound that waits for the beloved's arrow as a balm, and Latîfî's response poem on the same phrase "red-mouthed": images of arrow, wound and rosebud.
