Muqimiy

Muhammad Aminxo'ja, who signed Muqimiy, was born in 1850 in Kokand into a modest family. He studied in Bukhara, where lack of money weighed on his studies, and afterwards lived in poverty in a madrasa cell. A poet of love, he was above all a poet of satire: he attacked the surveyors who tormented peasants under the pretext of measuring the land, the elections of the colonial administration, and enriched merchants. His satires were recited among the people like songs. He died in 1903.
