He became famous by the nickname Cehremi. al-Ḥātib al-Baġdādī said: "He is among the poets from whom we have heard poetry when we met them. He spoke beautifully. One of his poems is as follows:
“Woe to the state of my qalb (heart) from his turning here and there
We will suffer torment with him until eternity.
They said: You endured and concealed your love for him
If I had patience, I would have forgiven him
I went mad in this state but he did not care for me.
I cannot bear his disappearance from sight.
His being pleased and content is enough for me as life
His anger and estrangement is death for me.”
