Mu'izzi is said to have died by the arrow shot at him by the King's son in 1125 CE for reasons unknown.

He was born to Abd al-Malik Burhani, the renowned poet laureate (Amir al-Shoara) who sojourned at the courts of the Seljuk rulers Alp Arslan and Malik-Shah I.

Mu'izzi's claim to have succeeded his father as 'the nightingale's child', seemingly justified by a famous verse cited by Nizami Aruzi and Aufi, has been cast into doubt as lacunae and possible attribution of the line to another writer.

Burhani's divan seems to have been lost early in history, and few references survive from anthologies or later works.

Raduyani quotes Burhani once in Tarjuman ul-Balagha, but other than this, his name is absent from known works produced in later centuries, such as Rashid al-Din Vatvat's Hada'iq al-sihr and Shams-i Qays's al-Mujam.
