Ahmad Azizi was born on December 25th, 1958 in the city of Sarpol-e Zahab (Kermanshah province, Iran). During his childhood, he was in frequent contact with the nomads who lived in black tents. Before going to elementary school, he learned to read and write from the writings on signs and names of streets without having a teacher and only out of curiosity, attention, and reflection. Prior to the Islamic revolution, he went to Tehran upon the invitation of Shams Al-e Ahmad and later began his cooperation with the Jomhouri-e Eslami newspaper.
Ahmad Azizi has numerous works in poetry and prose. He is a poet with a unique style. This style manifests itself in the form of Masnavi in his work “Kafsh-haye Mokashefeh.” The tendency of his style to spirituality and Islamic mysticism in a new style of Masnavi (inspired by the Masnavi of Molavi) is unparalleled in contemporary poetry. This style has left a large impact on contemporary poetry in Iran. Azizi’s poetry is blended with Islamic mysticism and most of his works are filled with the laud of the Ahl al-Bayt (a). He usually begins his Masnavis with the description of nature; he then uses various arrangements and resorts to different relations, new combinations, and traditional puns and slowly and gradually alludes to the main theme. He had a particular skill in forming new combinations in the “Sabk-e Hendi” (Indian style) poets.
Azizi was in a coma from March 5th, 2008 until March 
6th, 2017 for a total of nine years due to kidney disorders. He was hospitalized in the ICU ward of Imam Reza Hospital in Kermanshah. After three years, his general health reached a stage where he could hear the words of those around him and would react with smiles and tears. Azizi, who was in a coma until the end of his life, departed this world on March 6th, 2017.
