Tajik Women Poets- Muazzamkhan Khujandi
Muazzamkhan Khujandi, the elder sister of Muattarkhan and the daughter of Mirsaid and Qambarkhan Khujandi, was born in 1833 in the city of Khujand.
She was married at the age of 16. Her husband, Ishan Khan, moved to Jezakh some time later and Muazzamkhan lived there until the end of her life and died in this city at the age of 84. This poet went through difficult times and, according to the historians, lost 4 of her children during her lifetime. Like her mother and sister, she also wrote poetry in both Persian and Turkish, and most of her Turkish poems have remained. The glory of misfortune and difficult times, strangeness, separation and oppression and injustice of time, and poverty constitute the most important themes of her poems. Some examples of her poems can be seen in the collection of poems prepared by her sister Muatar Khan. In ghazals, she was mostly a follower of Alishir Nawai and Fuzuli.
