Name: Muhammed
Father's Name: Marf
Title: Ramzi
Mohammad Mullah Marf was born in 1902 in Sulaymaniyah, South Kurdistan. He was sent to school at the age of five. He studied the Holy Quran in the hujra of Mullah Saeedi Zalzali. He read several Persian books such as Smailnama, Gulistan, Bustani Sheikh Saadi and Hafiz Shirazi. At the age of nine, he was enrolled in Rushdie Military School. But he was soon taken out of there and put in high school because he was his father's only child and he did not want to leave him.
Because he was very intelligent, good-natured and honest, and graduated first every year, his teachers gave him the title of Ramzi. After completing the fourth grade, Ramzi was expelled from school and sent to another school where he began studying basic religious knowledge until the British occupation. He then contacted Sheikh Mahmoud. He was often arrested and harassed by the British and his house was looted several times.
In June 1927, he became a salaried employee. He worked in the Ministry of Finance until his retirement in the year 1961.
On 18-07-1976 he died of cancer and was buried in Saywan Hill, Sulaymaniyah. The poet's classical literary career was empty of disciples of Bekhud (Mullah Mahmoud Mufti), who led him in the science of rhyme until he became known as one of the experts in this field. There is not even one poem of his, whether old or new that has gone beyond the rhymes of Arabic Arouz. He was known as Bal of his time, and even the poet Piramerd had given him the nickname King of the Poets.[1]
