Imadaddin Nasimi (born ca. 1369–1417) is one of the greatest Turkish-language poets and philosophers in the history of Azerbaijan. He is considered one of the most prominent figures in Azerbaijani literature and the founder of classical Azerbaijani poetry.

Key points about his life and work:

Mystical poet: Nasimi was a Sufi poet and a follower of Hurufism, a mystical and pantheistic movement within Islam. This led to controversial ideas about humanity and the divine, which he openly explored in his poetry.

Philosophy and poetry: His work is profound and philosophical. He wrote poems in Azerbaijani, Persian, and Arabic. His most famous work, the Turkish Divan, is considered his most important contribution to literature.

Nasimi's poetry focuses on human existence, love, and the search for divine truth. One of his most quoted verses is: "Two worlds fit within me, but I do not fit into this world." This expresses his belief that humanity carries a divine essence within itself.
Martyrdom: His radical ideas and poetry led to him being labeled a heretic by the religious authorities. He was arrested in 1417 in Aleppo (present-day Syria) and sentenced to death by flaying. His tragic death made him a symbol of steadfastness and courage.
Nasimi's influence extends far beyond the borders of Azerbaijan, and his work has strongly influenced subsequent generations of poets in the Turkish-speaking world.
