[9] Very little is known about the life of Mele Perîşan, but it is plausible that he was born in Dinavar and of the Ghiasvand tribe.
[6] He was Shia, Hurufist,[10] spoke Arabic, Persian and Turkish beside Kurdish,[11] and spent most of his life in the Dinavar area.
[12] He was passionate about his religion in his poetry and was moreover an admirer of Rabia of Basra and her position on halal.
[8] The diwan Parishan-nama was written in Gorani with many Laki words, and contained Hurufist propaganda.
It had a syllabic meter, which was a common characteristic of Gorani poetry.
