He is regarded as one of the greatest Turkic poets of his time and one of the most prominent figures in Azerbaijani literature.

After becoming a faithful adherent of the Hurufism movement, Nasimi left Azerbaijan to spread Hurufism in Anatolia and later Aleppo following the execution of its founder and Nasimi's teacher, Fazlallah Astarabadi.
