Magtymguly Pyragy
Magtymguly Pyragy (Persian: مخدوم قلی فراغی Makhdumqoli Farāghi; Turkmen: Magtymguly Pyragy, IPA: [ˌmɑʁtɯmɢʊˈɫʊ ˌpɯɾɑːˈʁɯ]; c. 1724 – 1807), born Magtymguly, was an Iranian-Turkmen spiritual leader, philosophical poet, Sufi and traveller, who is considered one of the most famous figures in Turkmen literary history.
Magtymguly is credited with the creation of Turkmen written literature, and his literary form became a symbol of the historical and the incipient national consciousness of the Turkmen people. He is part of a unique period in the cultural history of Central Asia, with his personal poetic synthesis being influential to following generations of poets of the region. The poems of the Turkmen poet have been translated into many languages including English, Russian, Kyrgyz, Romanian.
In a wider context, Magtymguly is often placed alongside major figures of the Turkic literary world such as Hoja Ahmad Yasawi, Yunus Emre, Ali-Shir Nava'i and Fizuli.
Magtymguly was born in Haji Qushan, a village near the city of Gonbad-e Qabus in the modern-day province of Golestan, Iran, the northern steppes of which are known as Turkmen Sahra (Turkmen steppes). It was part of the extensive Safavid Empire in the first half of the 18th century.
Magtymguly's name, signifying "slave of Magtym," derives from one of the revered lineages within the Turkmen community. In addition to his given name, the poet adopted a distinctive pen name or makhlas, "Feraghi," in his literary works. It comes from Arabic and means "the one separated from" happiness, or union with his beloved.
Magtymguly's father was Döwletmämmet Azady, himself an educated poet. His father was also a local teacher and mullah, and was highly regarded by his people.
Magtymguly received his early education in the Turkmen, Persian and Arabic languages from his father. He also learned ancestral trades such as felt-making and, according to some sources, jewellery.
Magtymguly continued his studies in various madrassahs (religious school of higher learning), including Idris Baba madrassah in the village of Gyzyl Aýak, Gögeldaş madrassah in Bukhara and Şirgazy madrassah in Khiva.
