 Although Khidr Beg is reputed to have introduced the versified chronogram into Ottoman literature, very few of his Turkish poems have survived and his reputation rests on three poems in Arabic.The first, a didactic qasida in the basit metre on the creed, is known as the Nuniyya and has been the subject of several commentaries, most notably that by his pupil al-Khayali.Another qasida, also a Nuniyya, also called Jawahir al-'Aqa'id (), dealing with the creed, but in the wafir metre, is usually known as 'Ujalat layla aw laylatayn (), is paid special attention in Ottoman period by writing lots of commentaries.
