Boborahim Mashrab
Died in 1711
Boborahim, who signed himself Mashrab, was born in Namangan, in the Fergana Valley, in 1657 according to most sources, in 1640 according to others. A pupil of a master from Namangan, he left in 1665 for Kashgar to join the Sufi Ofoq Xoja, who drove him away seven years later. From 1673 he wandered for nearly forty years, from Tashkent to Bukhara, from Samarkand to Balkh and as far as India. His mockery of the clergy earned him the hostility of the powerful. In 1711, in Balkh, he was hanged on the orders of Mahmud Qataghon, ruler of Kunduz.
