Today's Special
One of most firebrand poets of Lucknow. Contemporary of Meer Taqi Meer. His rivalry with Mushafi is well-recorded. He had also written rekhta poetry and 'Raani Ketki ki kahani" in prose.
achchhā jo ḳhafā ham se ho tum ai sanam achchhā
lo ham bhī na boleñge ḳhudā kī qasam achchhā
achchha jo KHafa hum se ho tum ai sanam achchha
lo hum bhi na bolenge KHuda ki qasam achchha
