Contemporary of Ghalib and Zauq. He was also a physician, astrologer and chess player. Mirza Ghalib is said to have offered his complete diwan for his sher "tum mere paas hote ho goya, Jab koi doosra nahin hota".
dil qābil-e-mohabbat-e-jānāñ nahīñ rahā
vo valvala vo josh vo tuġhiyāñ nahīñ rahā
no longer worthy is my heart of being in love with her
that zeal, that fervor, that tumult, now no longer appear
dil qabil-e-mohabbat-e-jaanan nahin raha
wo walwala wo josh wo tughiyan nahin raha
no longer worthy is my heart of being in love with her
that zeal, that fervor, that tumult, now no longer appear
