[edit] Works
His main published work is Şîrîn û Xesrew (Shirin and Khasraw). Despite being a master in Persian language and literature, he was in favor of using Kurdish in literature, as indicated in one of his poems:
Although it's said that Persian's sweet as sugar,
For me is Kurdish sweeter still.
Clearly, in this perfidious world,
Everyone is happiest with his own mother tongue.
