Magtymguly Pyragy (Persian: مخدوم قلی فراغی Makhdumqoli[a] Farāghi; Turkmen: Magtymguly Pyragy; Turkmen pronunciation: [ˌmɑɣtɯmɢʊˈlɯ ˌpɯɾɑːˈɣɯ]; c. 1724 – 1807),[2] born Magtymguly, was an Iranian-Turkmen[3] spiritual leader, philosophical poet, Sufi and traveller, who is considered the most famous figure in Turkmen literary history.[4]
Magtymguly is the greatest representative of Turkmen literature, credited with the creation of Turkmen written literature, and whose literary form became a powerful symbol of the historical and the incipient national consciousness of the Turkmen people.[5] He is part of a unique period in the cultural history of Central Asia, with his exceptional talent projecting his personal poetic synthesis onto the next generation of poets of the region.[6] The poems of the Turkmen poet[7] have been translated into many languages of the world, including English,[8] Russian,[8] Kyrgyz,[9] Romanian.[10]
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.[11]
