From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amir Abdollah Muhammad Mu'izzi (also written Mu'ezzi) was an 11th century and 12th century poet of Persia. The was the poet laureate of Sanjar [1]. Born in 1048 CE and originating from Nisa, he ranks as one of the great masters of the Persian panegyric qasideh.
He lived in the courts of Malik Shah I and Sultan Sanjar. His divan of 18,000 distichs remain. Anvari accuses Mu'izzi of copying the verses of other poets (which cannot be proven for certain), yet Anvari himself is known to have copied Mu'izzi's verses. Mu'izzi is said to have died by the arrow shot at him by the King's son in 1125 CE for reasons unknown. He was accidentally shot by Sanjar.[2]

Ghazel of Mu'izzi in Tajik:
- Эй руйи ту рахшандатар аз киблаи Зардушт,
- Бе руйи ту чун зулфи куж аст маро пушт.
- Ишки ту маро кушту хавои ту маро сухт,
- Чаври ту маро хасту чафои ту маро кушт.
- Харчанд хама чавру чафои ту кашидам,
- харгиз накунам мехру вафои ту фаромушт.
- Бархезу биё то зи руху зулфи ту имшаб,
- Пурлола кунам доману пурмушк кунам мушт
translation -
- Hey your face is brighter than qibla of Zarostra
- Without your face ringlety crooked in my back
- Your love killed me and your air burnt me
- I have your oppression and your cruelity killed me
- Whatever your oppression and cruelity I suffered from
- Never I will forget your kindness and loyalty
- Get up and come this night
- I will make you full of tulips...

| Contemporary Persian and Classical Persian are the same language, but writers since 1900 are classified as contemporary. The above lists include poets mostly of Iranic background but also some of Indic, Turkic and Slavic backgrounds. At one time, Persian was a common cultural language of much of the non-Arabic Islamic world. |
