Ahmad Rumlu

Ahmad Rumlu (Ahmad Ahmadov / Ahmad Ruminsky-Ahmadov) was born in Baku. He received his education in a madrasa and learned Persian and Arabic. With his beautiful memory and charming voice, he would recite shabih and recite qasidah during Muharram. Towards the middle of the century, these ceremonies were replaced by folk theaters, and he gained fans in local plays such as "kos-kosa", "godu-godu". When he was 18, he began performing roles of various sizes on the stage of the Young Spectators Theater.

He wrote poems and ghazals. He wrote the poem "Humay". His works "For the sake of happiness", "Seyran", "Blood to the blood" were staged. The ghazals he wrote under the pseudonym Rumlu formed the basis of the repertoire of the famous Iranian singer Mustafa Payan. There are more than 5,000 ghazals by the poet-ghazal singer. But most of them are no longer available.

Ahmad Rumlu died in 1982 and was buried in Balakhani.
