Enderûnlu Fâzıl

Enderûnlu Fâzıl (c. 1757–1810) was a poet born Hüseyin in Acre or Safed, a grandson of the Palestinian strongman Ẓāhir al-ʿUmar. After his family's revolt collapsed in 1776, he was schooled in Constantinople's Enderun academy, from which he was expelled in 1783, possibly over love affairs.

Years of poverty ended when Sultan Selim III made him a bey and waqf administrator. His satirical verse brought exile to Rhodes in 1799, where he went blind; allowed back, he wrote poetry for the imperial elite.

He is remembered for two erotic poetry books, Hubanname and Zenanname, the latter banned in the empire. He died in 1810 and was buried in Eyüp.
