Ali Hariri

Ali Hariri or Sheikh Ahmed Bohtani[1] (Kurdish: Elî Herîrî; 1009 in Harir – 1079/1080)[2][3] was a Kurdish poet who wrote in Kurmanji and considered a pioneer in classical Kurdish Sufi literature and a founder of the Kurdish literary tradition.[4][5]

Biography

[edit]

Hariri was born in 1009 in the village of Harir, part of the Hakkâri district of Bohtan.[2][6] He was first mentioned by Ahmad Khani in the 17th century, and limited information is known about him.[4] His poetry focused on love, love for Kurdistan, its beautiful nature and the beauty of its people. The poems were popular and spread all over Kurdistan.[1] According to historian Muhibbî, Hariri moved to Damascus to study and had a son named Şex Ehmed (d. 1048) who possibly was a mullah and a faqih.[7]

He died in Cizre and his grave is considered a sacred place and visited by numerous people every year.[1]
