Poet N. Zharkynbaev was born in the village of Dzhanay-Aryk in the Jumgal district of the Naryn region in a peasant family.
He graduated in 1957 from Kyrgyz Secondary School No. 5 named after A. S. Pushkin in Frunze, and in 1962 from the philological faculty of K. GU.
From 1973 to 1975, he was a listener at the Higher Party School of the Central Committee of the CPSU in Moscow. He began his labor biography in 1962 as a proofreader at the editorial office of the newspaper "Leninchil Zhas," later becoming the head of a department and deputy editor of this newspaper.
Since 1975, he worked as the editor of the science and culture department at the editorial office of the magazine "Communist of Kyrgyzstan," and since 1986, he has been a correspondent for the newspaper "Soviet Kyrgyzstan."
He has been published since 1956. His first poetry collection "Zhashtyk zazy" ("Spring of Youth") was published in 1966. A significant part of the poet's work involves translation. He has translated E. Isaev's poems "Judgment of Memory" and "Distance of Memory," as well as poems by M. Svetlov, V. Mayakovsky, E. Yevtushenko, A. Voznesensky, and O. Suleimenov into Kyrgyz.
He has been a member of the CPSU since 1967 and a member of the Union of Writers of the USSR since 1970.
He was awarded the medal "For Valorous Labor. In Commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of V. I. Lenin," and certificates of honor from the Supreme Council of the Kyrgyz SSR.
