He was not a highly educated person but he was sharp-witted and imaginative and was a regular at the court of Sulieman Shikoh. He lost his eye-sight towards the end of middle age. He was a fluent writer of ghazals. He died in Lucknow in 1809/1810. A collection of his ghazals – Kuliyaat e Jurat, was last published in 1968 by Majlis Taraqii e Adab, Lahore.[3]
