Inoyat Hojieva ( Tajik: Иноят Ҳоҷиева), mostly known as Farzona ( Tajik: Фарзона) is a Tajik poet [1] and writer. She won a lifetime achievement award. [2]
She was influenced by Forough Farrokhzad and other Persian poets, such as Firdowsi and Rumi.
Farzona's works are well known throughout Persian-speaking countries. She is known as Forough of Tajikistan. Her frequently playful and witty poetry draws on rich traditions of Persian literature in a rather humorous way. [3] In late 1980, she wrote a poem called "To the Nation that Gave Birth to Ahmad Zohir".[ citation needed]
