Sheikh Izzeddin Esfarayeni (Azerbaijani: عزالدین حسن اوغلو; Persian: شیخ عزالدین پورحسن اسفراینی), who wrote under the pseudonyms of Hasanoghlu and Pur-e Hasan,[1] was a 13th and 14th century poet who wrote in Azerbaijani and Persian.[2] He is the earliest known author of Azerbaijani literature.[3]
Hasanoghlu was born in
Sufi sects.[4][5] During his lifetime, Hasanoghlu was well-known, with his fame reaching as far as Anatolia.[3] His lyrics influenced many generations of Turkic-language poets.[6]
Hasanoghlu primarily composed lyric poems about love[6] that were infused with Sufi ideology.[3][5] He composed a diwan of Azerbaijani and Persian ghazals.[4] Only three of Hasanoghlu's poems have survived.[7]
