Writer (b.
1878, Lice / Diyarbakır - d. 1940's, Syria). He was one of the members of the
Azmi Kavî Association founded in 1900. When he was attending the El-Ezher
University in Egypt, where he had gone in 1904, he joined the Young Turks, who
were active in that country, and participated in the activities against the
rule of Sultan Abdülhamid. Upon the announcement of the Constitutional
Monarchy, he returned to İstanbul and became director in the school opened by
the Kurdish Association for Common Education. He was exiled to Kastamonu
because he published a divançe (poetry booklet) called Divançe-i Dehrî (Small Divan* of an Atheist).
He returned to İstanbul when an amnesty was granted by the government of
Gazi Ahmet Muhtar Paşa who came to power on 12 July 1912. He fled to Syria
after the Şeyh Sait Revolt and died there in the 1940’s. His tomb is in the
Kurdish district of Damascus.
