[1] Ajiniyaz was born in 1824 at the southern coast of the Aral Sea, in the village of Qamısh buǵat of the Muynak district, at the mouth of the river Amu Darya, where the Karakalpak tribes (ruw) as ashamayli and kiyat used to live.

Today, at the entrance of this madrasa, one can see written: “Here in 1840-1845 a poet Ájiniyaz Qosıbay Ulı used to study.” In addition to spiritual disciplines, Ajiniyaz studied the poetry of Oriental classical poets such as Navoi, Khafiz, Saadi, and Fizuli in the madrasa of Kutlimurat-Inak, which greatly influenced his progressive lyric poetry.

After graduation from the madrasa of Kutlimurat-Inak, Ajiniyaz returned to his native village but soon left again for Kazakhstan, where he remained for a year.

The Kungrad rebellion of 1858−1859, one of the important events in the history of the people inhabiting the Khorezm oasis, had a large influence on Ajiniyaz's poetry.

It is considered that it was in 1864, during his trip to Kazakhstan that he takes part in aytis, a lyrical competition with a Kazakh poet called Kyz-Menesh.

Coming back to his native place, Ajiniyaz opens schools in the villages «Bozataw», «Kamis buget», «Jetim uzak» for the children from poor families where he teaches them skills of grammar.

Heard, firing started out before sunrise, Slept as free before-woke up as a slaver, Hands were tied up-where is the struggle… Your son was captured suddenly, Bozataw.
