Abu Esmail Moayed-o-din Hosein-ebn-e-ali Esfahani Togharayi was an Iranian poet and scholar of the Seljuq period. He was born in Isfahan, Iran in 1045 A.D.

Al-Safadi's commentary on *Lamiyat al-Ajam*

He had mastered all sciences of his time, and he also wrote some books about alchemy, such as Jame-ol-asrar, Trakib-ol-anvar, and Masabih-ol-hekmat va Mafatih-ol-rahmat, Haghaegh-ol-esteshhadat, Zat-ol-faraed, and Alrad Ali-ebn-e-sina fi Ebtal-el-kimia.

He also participated in political works and became the minister of Masoud-ebn-Mohamad Malek Shah.

Togharayi wrote a book of poems, the best known of which is Lamiyat al-Ajam (L-Poem of the non-Arabs). Togharayi wrote Lamiyyat al-Ajam as a response to the celebrated pre-Islamic poem Lāmiyyāt al-‘Arab (L-Poem of the Arabs). Lamiyyat al-Ajam was later the subject of an encyclopedic 14th-century commentary by Al-Safadi, entitled Al-Ghayth al-Musajam fi Sharh Lamiyyat-Ajam (Flowing Desert Rains in the Commentary upon the L-Poem of the Non-Arabs).^[1]

Togharayi was ultimately accused of atheism, and executed in 1105 A.D. ^[2] ^[3]
