- 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.

- غریب نامه
- Notes
- ʿĀşıḳ Paşa's principal work is Ġarīb-nāme (غریب نامه) (composed in 730 AH [1330 CE]), sometimes wrongly called Dīvān-ı ʿĀşıḳ Paşa (ديوان عاشق پاشا) or Maʿārif-nāme (معارف نامه). This is a mystical-didactic mathnawi of 12.000 couples. The work begins with a preface in Persian and a long panegyrical introduction. It is divided into then chapters (bāb (باب)), and each chapter into ten courses (dāsitān (داستان)). The work can be described as a collection of moral precepts and counsels illustrated by references to the Qur’an and hadith and followed by the relevant anecdotes. The influence of Mawlānā Jalāl al-Dīn (مولانا جلال الدين)'s Mathnawī (مثنوي) is apparent in Ġarīb-nāme (غریب نامه) as in most contemporary mystical works, but ʿĀşıḳ Paşa's poetry is plain and didactic, lacking the lyrical spirit of both Mawlānā (مولانا) and Yūnus Emre (یونس امره). The numerous copies of Ġarīb-nāme (غریب نامه) witness it s great popularity over the centuries.
