Mirza Hirgupal Taftah; The Persian Poet of the Subcontinent

Mirza Hirgupal Taftah Sikandar AbadI (d. 1296 A.H), was a student of Mirza Ghalib Dihlavl and a prominent poet from the late Taymurid and the beginning of the English colonization in the Subcontinent. He had experienced all kinds of Persian poetry and composed the significant examples of odes, Mathnavls, lyrics and strophes. He started writing when many poets have deviated the Hindi style. His poms are close to lraqi style not only literally but also conceptually. His odes are simple, fluent and free of needless formality while they are eloquent and fluent in content, too. His works are free of fantasizing, complicated content, simile and complicated metaphorcs. His odes bear love and sense together, with a little sense of "Vasukht" in them. His works include Chihar Divan-i Shir-i FarSI, Mathnavi-yi Sunbulistan in response to Bitstan-i Saʹdi and Tazmin-i Gulistan-i Saʹdi.
