Katran Tabrizi is an Azerbaijani poet of the 11th century. In his work, he reflected the political history of Azerbaijan. These are known as "history verses". Tabrizi wrote poetry on various topics. If you look closely at his work, you can see that he retained the Turkish spirit, way of thinking, Turkish culture in his works, retained the patriotic spirit that we see in Nizami, Fizuli, Khagani.

The poetic ideas expressed in "Dada-Gorgud", "Divani-lugati-Turk", "Gutadgu-bilik" are very similar. Turkish culture here is very close to Katran Tabrizi; purity, courage, loyalty.

Like many medieval poets, Katran Tabrizi wrote in Persian for socio-political reasons.
