Mawlawi Tawagozi, pen nameMaʿdumi, better known asMawlawi (1806-1882/3,Kurdish:مەولەوی تاوەگۆزی)[1] was aKurdish poet and leading Kurdish literary figure in the 19th century. He wrote inGorani,Arabic andPersian.[2]
Mawlawi was born in a village inPaveh County inIran into a family of notabletheologians and the mystic and scholar Abu Bakr b. Hedāyat-Allāh Ḥosayni Kordi from the 16th century. His dad Mollā Saʿid was headmaster of amadrasa inKurdistan and Mawlawi himself also attended various madrasas where he completed his studies. After his studies, he became aMullah nearHalabja where he quickly integrated himself into the social life of the region. He had been interested in Sufism for a while and joined theNaqshbandi order led by Oṯmān Serāj-al-Din who was a Naqshbandi leader of Kurds. He moreover received support from local SufiSheikhs who acted as patrons and also fostered close relations with theJaff tribe and theArdalan state. His wife Ḵātun ʿAnbar, died before him and he wrote many poems about the pain of losing her. In the final years of his life, his library burnt down and he was blind for the last seven years of his life. He died falling of a horse near Halabja.[2]
Mawlawi was a prolific writer and his favorite genre was theghazal. He was influenced by especiallyHafez but alsoRumi whom he knew since childhood, but remained loyal to the Gorani literary traditions.[2]
