Muçi Zade

References

Muçi Zade is the author of the earliest known Albanian poem written in Arabic script and belonging to the era of Bejtes. Nothing is known about him beside his poem Imzot, mos më lerë pa kahve ("My Lord, don't leave me without coffee").
It is taken from a manuscript discovered in Korça, southeastern Albania, and is dated 1724. In this octosyllabic poem, with an AAAB rhyme in the Albanian original, the author laments not having any coffee with which to break his fast at sunset in the Holy Month of Ramadan.^[1]
