Notes
Ilâhî's work consisting of Arabic, Persian and Turkish poems. The only manuscript copy of the work, which consists of odes, stanzas, ghazals and rubais, is missing from the beginning and the end. The work, consisting of 1436 couplets, includes 177 ghazals in Persian, 1 ode, 2 stanzas, 27 rubai, 2 ghazals in Arabic and 24 ghazals in Turkish. Names such as Seyyid Gazi, Edremid and Sultan Bayezid are mentioned in the work. The poet, who was successful in singing Persian ghazals, used the pseudonym Ilâhî in almost all of his ghazals. The ghazals built on the basis of Sufism are amorous, gentle and wise. The ghazals, written in a simple, fluent and not heavy language, are written in almost all letters of the alphabet. Many Turkish words, compositions and terminology are included in Persian ghazals. The poet and author mention Fatih Sultan Mehmed and Sultan II in his ghazals and one ode. He talked about his relationship with Bâyezîd. The work, which consists of 128 pages, the only manuscript copy of which is in the Bursa Antiquities Library (Orhan Ktp., nr.1223), contains Persian poems on the first 115 pages and Turkish poems on the last 13 pages. İsmail Hikmet Ertaylan said that this work belonged to Abdullâh-ı İlâhî, but it was also said that this work might belong to Ahmed-i İlâhî. It is still unclear which Ilahi the work belongs to. For the poet's biography, see. "İlâhî, Şeyh Ahmed İlâhî Efendi".Turkish Literature Names Dictionary.
