Sheikh Izzeddin Esfarayeni (Azerbaijani: عزالدین حسن‌ اوغلو; Persian: شیخ عزالدین پورحسن اسفراینی), who wrote under the pseudonyms of Hasanoghlu and Pur-e Hasan,[1] was a 13th and 14th century poet who wrote in Azerbaijani and Persian.[2] He is the earliest known author of Azerbaijani literature.[3]

Hasanoghlu was born in Esfarayen in the 13th century.[4] He was a student of Sheikh Jamaladdin Ahmed Zakir, the head of one of the Sufi sects.[4][5] During his lifetime, Hasanoghlu was well-known, with his fame reaching as far as Anatolia.[3] His lyrics influenced many generations of Turkic-language poets.[6] Hasanoghlu primarily composed lyric poems about love[6] that were infused with Sufi ideology.[3][5] He composed a diwan of Azerbaijani and Persian ghazals.[4] Only three of Hasanoghlu's poems have survived.[7]

Ghazal commonly called "Apardı könlümü" by Hasanoghlu which is considered the earliest known piece of literature in Azerbaijani language from the 14th century manuscript Or. 1553 "Kitab-i Gulistan bil-Turki; and other texts" [8] compiled by Seyfi Sarayi kept in the library of Leiden University
