# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around 1369–70, Nasimi took to Sufism early and became a devoted follower of the Hurufism movement under its founder, Fazlallah Astarabadi. After Astarabadi's execution, Nasimi left Azerbaijan to carry the doctrine west, moving through Anatolia and settling in Aleppo, where he gained adherents as a Hurufi sheikh. His two dīvāns — one in Azerbaijani, one in Persian, plus scattered Arabic poems — blended accessible melody with mystical theology, centering on Hurufi belief and dense Islamic reference. Sunni circles resisted; pressure mounted. Around 1418–19 the Mamluk sultan ordered his death for heresy. He was executed and buried in a Sufi lodge in Aleppo, but the poetry traveled: Nasimi shaped a generation of Turkic poets, including Habibi, Haqiqi, and Khatai.
