Manuscripts by this author
Kitābu Evṣāfı Mesācidi’ş-Şerīfe
A mes̱nevī of 339 couplets in which Aḥmed Faḳīh recounts the pilgrimage he undertook with a group of friends. The poet describes the cities of Damascus, Jerusalem, Mecca and Medina in detail, in particular the holy sites. The name of the poet appears five times in the work, three times as Aḥmed and twice as Faḳīh. The fact that some folios were lost in the only extant manuscript of the work suggests that the work may have been more voluminous.
Çarḫ-nāme
A ḳasīde of 83 couplets which figures in the Cāmi‘ü’n-naẓā’ir compiled by Egridirli Ḥacı Kemāl in 918. According to the list at the end of the manuscript, the poem should be 100 couplets long, thus indicating that the folio containing the last 17 couplets was lost. Çarḫ-nāme is a didactic work on the importance of worship, moral perfection, preparation for one’s afterlife and disattachment to this fleeting world full of vices. Show more

ġazel, ḳaṣīde
A no longer extant manuscript which used to be located at Istanbul University Faculty of Literature Department of Turkish Language and Literature (No 4453) contains five poems by Aḥmed Faḳīh, four of which also appear at the end of the manuscript containing Kitâbu Evsâfı Mesâcidi’ş-Şerîfe. The total number of couplets for these poems is 69. The poems are in praise of the holy city of Jerusalem, thus suggesting that they may have been written during Aḥmed Faḳīh’s two month stay in the city.
