Biography[edit]
Mir Hasan's ancestors were sayyids who belonged to Herat. His great grandfather Mir Imami migrated to India.[2]
Mir Hasan was born in Delhi. His father, Mir Zahik, was a poet.[3] Mir Hasan was educated in Urdu and Persian, and studied poetry as a child, submitting his poems to Khwaja Mir Dard for correction. After the invasion of India 1739 by Nader Shah, his father emigrated to Faizabad, the capital of Oudh. [4][5]
When the capital of Awadh was changed to Lucknow, Mir Hasan also settled there. He died in Lucknow after a period of illness.[2] He left behind four sons, three of whom were poets themselves.
