Mirzadeh Eshghi

Sayed Mohammad Reza Kordestani (Persian: سید محمدرضا کردستانی; December 11, 1894 – July 3, 1924) was an Iranian political writer and poet who used the pen name Mirzadeh Eshghi (Persian: میرزاده عشقی).

He was born in Hamadan, the son of Hajj Sayed Abolghasam Kordestani; he learned French in the Ecole d'Alliance, and moved to Istanbul for a while.

He is particularly famous for writing the opera Rastakhiz Shahryaran (Resurrection of the kings), which was a reflection of his patriotic spirit.

He also published a paper called Twentieth Century and predicted his early death repeatedly.
