He was the son of Meer Husain Nigar. He would belong to Delhi and was one of the close disciples of Ghalib. During the turbulent period of 1857, he was forced to move to Panipat and Alwar. However, his last days were quite peaceful. His deewan was published in 1898 under the pen name Mazhar Maa’ni. The language of his poetry has simple use of phraces, but sometimes it does get complicated. His poetry is mature, though not fresh and modern.
