Fuzuli

Fuzûlî is the pen name of Mehmed, son of Süleyman, born in present-day Iraq, in 1483 (around 1480 according to the Küre), probably in Karbala. He wrote in Turkish, in its Azeri variant, in Persian and in Arabic, and left a collection in each of these languages. He first sought the protection of the Safavids, then, after Suleiman's capture of Baghdad in 1534, that of the Ottomans. The pension assigned to him was at first not paid, and his letter of complaint has remained famous. He died of the plague in 1556, probably in Karbala.
