Mohlaroyim (Uzbek: Mohlaroyim, Моҳларойим) (1792-1842), most commonly known by her penname Nodira, was an Uzbek poet and stateswoman.[1] Nodira is generally regarded as one of the most outstanding Uzbek poets.[2] She wrote poetry both in Uzbek and Persian. Nodira also used other pennames, such as Komila and Maknuna.[3] Many of her diwans have survived. These diwans consist of more than 10,000 lines of poetry.

Nodira was the wife of Muhammad Umar Khan (1787-1822) who ruled the Khanate of Kokand from 1809 until 1822.[4] Following her husband's death, Nodira became the de facto ruler of Kokand. She was executed in 1842 by Nasrullah Khan.
