Ogahi (pseudonym; full name is Muhammad Riza Erniyozbek oglu) (17 December 1809 – 14 December 1874) – Uzbek poet, historian, translator.
Ogahi was born in 1809 in Qiyot village near Khiva.[1] He studied in Khiva madrasahs. He mastered Arabic, Persian, and Turkish languages.
After the death of his uncle and teacher Munis Khwarazmi in 1829, Allakuli Khan (Khan of Khiva in 1825–1842) appointed Ogahi as the successor of Munis to the position of mirab (A profession engaged in the distribution of water to agricultural lands). In 1845, he fell from a horse and his leg paralyzed. In 1857, he resigned from the position of a mirab. Until the end of his life, he lived in a sick condition.
