Muhammadniyoz Nishotiy

Muhammadniyoz Nishotiy was born in 1730 in Khorezm. In the eighteenth century, he left the khanate of Khiva for the emirate of Bukhara, where he was writing in the 1770s. Of his lyric work there remain ghazals and mukhammas, collected in manuscript anthologies, and a divan copied in 1903, kept at the Institute of Oriental Studies in Tashkent. One of his pieces, of three hundred lines, has fourteen birds debate, through whom he sets out his moral ideas. Critics link his views to the Sufi thought of Najmiddin Kubro.
