Inoyat Hojieva (Tajik: Иноят Ҳоҷиева), mostly known as Farzona (Tajik: Фарзона) is a Tajik poet[1] and writer. She won a lifetime achievement award.[2]

Life

[edit]

She was influenced by Forough Farrokhzad and other Persian poets, such as Firdowsi and Rumi.

Farzona's works are well known throughout Persian-speaking countries. She is known as Forough of Tajikistan. Her frequently playful and witty poetry draws on rich traditions of Persian literature in a rather humorous way.[3] In late 1980, she wrote a poem called "To the Nation that Gave Birth to Ahmad Zohir".[citation needed]
