Sayido Nasafiy

Mirobid, who signed as Sayido, was born in Nasaf, present-day Karshi, in the seventeenth century, and came as a child to Bukhara, where he studied at the Nodir Devonbegi madrasa. Often poor, he first lived by manual labour, looked for patrons, turned away from them in disappointment, and resigned himself to the trade of weaver. Under Subhonqulikhan he kept away from the powerful, and he wrote only one more ode, for the next khan. He left some five hundred and fifty ghazals, more than half of his work, and died in Bukhara around 1710.
