Kiyā lived during the time of the Persian poet Khagani, who paid a lot of attention to Kiyā in his works.[3] In particular, Khagani said that he helped him for several weeks and took care of him. He sent him two thousand gold dinars and gifts.[2] Minorsky V. believed that Kiyā Livāshīr was one of the ispahbads of Mughan and was the owner of Shindan and Archivan.[4][2] Due to his sharp political position towards the Khorezmshahs, he was assassinated at a young age.[2]
