Dervish Ahmed Gurbi Baba was an 18th-century Sufi divan poet born in 1698-99 in Novi Pazar (Sandžak); he was primarily a Bektashi sheikh, also described in the sources as Naqshbandi. The inscribed tarih plaque on the front wall of his türbe records his death as 1185 AH/1771-72 CE. He is buried in his türbe within the protected Gazilar cemetery, one of the oldest and largest Muslim cemeteries in Serbia.
