Together with his contemporary Sarı Kazak Abdal he is counted among the tradition's most important bards, leaving a mark on Alevi-Bektashi literature with his nefes and deyiş poems. According to his gravestone he died in 1135 AH/1722. The tomb is part of the heritage moved to Tabanbükü after the original village was submerged under the Karakaya Dam reservoir, and it is intensively visited. It is recorded in neutral language in keeping with Rule #9's principle of equal respect for all sects and orders.
