Biography
He was born in Maraghey village in west of Saveh township and buried in the same village. However he had several travels across the country, especially Shiraz, since he may have been of Qashqai descendant.[1] He is known for his poetry (Divan) and his memorial ceremonies are held annually.

His poems reflect social structure of his time and are a considered a source for investigating Iran in Qajar dynasty era and their attitudes. His poems had been translated in Turkish, Persian and Azeri.

- əl götürməm Mehri kimin güzəldən
- necə dözüm,
- yarım gedibdir əldən [2]
Translation:
- Tilimxan says since ever I have preferred
- I shall never lose the beauty, as Mehri was
- I have been waiting for long
- but my beloved has left me alone
