Biographical notes

ʿĀşıḳ Paşa was the son of Bābā Muḫlis (بابا مخلس) and grandson of famous Bābā’ī (بابائي) leader Bābā İlyās (d.637/1240) (بابا الياس). ʿĀşıḳ Paşa was born in Kırşehir in 670 AH [1272 CE]. He studied with Süleymān-ı Ḳırşehrī (سليمان قرشهري) and afterwards with Şeyḫ ʽOs̱mān (شيخ عثمان), a successor of Bābā İlyās (d.637/1240) (بابا الياس), whose daughter he married. He served as vizier under Tīmūrṭaş Paşa (d. 728/1328) (تيمورطش پاشا), governor of Anatolia. The principal source on his life is Menāḳıbu’l-ḳudsiyye fī menāṣıbu’l-ünsiyye (مناقب القدسية في مناصب الانسية), composed by his son Elvān Çelebi, (d. after 760/1358-59) (الوان چلبی). Famous 15th century [1400-1499 CE] chronicler ʿĀşıḳ Paşa-zāde (d. after 889/ 1484) (عاشق پاشا زاده) is ʿĀşıḳ Paşa's great grandson.

Title

Faḳr-nāme

فقر نامه

Notes

A mathnawi consisting of 161 couplets on the concept of faḳr (فقر) (poverty), symbolized by a bird. Upon creating the earth heavens, God asks faḳr (فقر), which He has put in the shape of a beautiful bird, to find a place to perch. The bird travels through the spheres of the sky, the earth and visits several prophets, but does no stop at any of them. It finally perches on prophet Muhammad, who is the true representative of faḳr (فقر).
