Pahlavān Mahmoud, more commonly known as Pouryā-ye Vali (died 1322 CE), was a Persian pahlevani champion and poet.

The nickname Pouryā-ye Vali has been attributed to Pahlavān Mahmoud in Khwarazm. The location of his tomb is in Khoy of Iran.

He also wrote a book titled Kanz ol-Haghayegh (literally The Treasure of Truths) in Persian. A couplet from him which is sung in Zourkhaneh, is:

افتادگی آموز اگر طالب فیضی هرگز نخورد آب زمینی که بلند است

Pronunciation:

oftādegi āmooz agar tālebe feyzi, hargez nakhorad āb zamini ke boland ast

Literal translation:

Learn modesty if you desire knowledge, A high land would never be irrigated [1]
