In this study, the work named Muhâkeme-i Mükeyyifât, which is among the 84b-102a leaves of a 109-leaf journal, which is registered under the name of "poetry journal" in Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Taksim Atatürk Library, number 1172, is discussed. Written on 7 Şaban 1260/22 August 1844 by a person from the zurefa with the desire to leave a relic containing advices and warnings to future generations, this work is a collection of seven pleasurable substances (opium, berş, cannabis, boza, wine, arak, coffee) in the province of Tahayyulat. It is a debate on meritocracy, describing the fierce struggle and arguments they entered in a pavilion in the field of Isret-âbâd. The coffee, which comes out of this terrible test in which pleasure substances enter, with a white face, sends all the mukeyyifat into exile as the sultan-ı mukeyyifat.
