Abdul Hakim (c. 1620 – c. 1690) was a poet in medieval Bengal. He wrote several epics verses in Bengali and also translated some from Persian manuscript.[1]

Early life

Hakim was born in the village of Sudharampur of Sandwip island in 1620.

Career

Hakim is well known for his patriotism and specially his love for the Bengali language. In Hakim's day, elite Bengali Muslims looked down upon it. Instead they favored Arabic, Persian, and Urdu. Hakim criticized their disdainful attitude towards the local tongue.[2]

Hakim's most notable work was Nur Nama (Story of Light), a depiction of the life of Muhammad. Other books he wrote are Shihabuddin Nama, Karbala, Lalmati Saifulmulk, Nasihat Nama, Chari Mokam Bhedh, Shahar Nama, Hanifar Ladai, and Durre Majlish.[4] He translated the Persian romance Yusuf Wa Zulekha (1483 AD) in Bengali.[1]
