Turdi Faroghiy

Turdi, who signed Farog'iy, was born in Bukhara in the seventeenth century and trained in the city's madrasas. He served for a long time as a soldier, a trade he found thankless. Under Abdulazizxon, he was at court one of the leaders of the Yuz clan; removed when the new sovereign came to power, he took part in the uprising of 1685 and 1686 against the dynasty, then made his way to Jizzakh and Khujand, where he lived in poverty. He died around 1700. Only eighteen pieces of his survive, amounting to four hundred and thirty-four lines.
