Aà Âñq ÃÂmer (1621âÂÂ1707) was a Crimean Tatar medieval poet of ashik and is one of the most famous representatives of the Turkic-speaking ashik poetry in general. Ashik poetry (; ) is a special kind of literary oeuvre, the representatives of which â folk poets-singers â accompany their performances with playing the string-plucked musical instrument baÃÂlama. Hence another name for this poetry â "baÃÂlama poetry".
He wrote mainly lyric poems (on mystical content and related to a soldier's theme) in the forms of Turkic folk poetry. Aà Âñq ÃÂmer is also an author of poems that are traditional for classical oriental poetry â ghazals, rubaÿi etcetera. He greatly influenced the later poets-improvisers (ashiks).
