Dalip Frashëri, also known with the pen-name Hyxhretiu (the exiled), was an Albanian Bektashi poet and religious leader of the 19th century. His poem Kopshti i te mirevet (Garden of the martyrs) is the first and the longest epic known in the Albanian literature. The poem is believed to have served at a some extend as base model for the later work of the Albanian nationalist poet Naim Frashëri named Qerbelaja (Karbala), and also for the epic Istori' e Skenderbeut (History of Scanderbeg), published in Bucharest in 1898. It is one of the latest works written in Albanian using the Arabic alphabet.
