Nodira

Mohlaroyim (Uzbek: Моҳларойим, ماه لر آییم; 1792–1842), most commonly known by her pen name Nodira (Нодира, نادره), was an Uzbek poet and stateswoman. She functioned as regent of the Khanate of Kokand during the minority of her son from 1822.

Nodira is generally regarded as one of the most outstanding Uzbek poets. She wrote poetry in Uzbek and Persian. Nodira also used other pennames, such as Komila and Maknuna. Many of her diwans have survived and consist of more than 10,000 lines of poetry.
