Dildar (poet)

[1] Dildar was born on 20 February 1918 in the town of Koy Sanjaq located in the Mosul Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire.

[3] Many of his poems were written in the classical Kurdish style with quantitative rhythm and monorhyme.

His poems were published in the Ronakî and Galawêz literary journals in Erbil and Baghdad.

[2] He joined the newly formed Hîwa Party in 1938, which became "[t]he first Kurdish organisation legally recognized, that seeks a united and free Kurdistan".

His expression of frustration and direct confrontation with the occupiers of Kurdistan made "Ey Reqîb" a symbol in the Kurds cause for freedom.
