A Sufi poet of Urfa whose real name was Ramazan and who used the pen name 'Şânî' in his verse. Born in Urfa in 1631, he joined the Halvetî order and rose to the rank of sheikh. In 1658 he founded a prominent Halvetî lodge near the Beykapısı (Kurtuluş) quarter, a line later associated with the Ramazâniyye branch. He is regarded as one of the earliest known poets of Urfa and is named among those who influenced the poet Nâbî. He died in 1665, leaving his deputy İshak Çelebi in his place. His tomb lies outside Beykapısı, near the old wheat market.
