Zekâî Ahmed Çelebi of Amasya, divan secretary of Prince Alemşah and brother of Şermî: his life and the verses preserved by Latîfî.

Zekâî of Amasya, brother of Şermî Osman Çelebi, was divan secretary to Prince Alemşah and his son Osman Bey; Latîfî praises his prose and preserves five of his couplets.

The only ghazal opening of Zekâî preserved by Latîfî: a couplet reproaching a gathering that lacks a moon-faced cupbearer and a sweet-voiced musician.

A couplet of Zekâî that Latîfî counts among his jesting hezl verse: a joke on a silver-bodied beauty, gold and the florin, and an innuendo open to two readings.

Three couplets from the verse preface of Zekâî's lost book of model letters: greeting, prayer, praise and longing likened to the dawn breeze, the rose and the nightingale.
