In Hindūstān he was known as Haidar, and he wrote good qasīdahs in praise of Mīr Muhammad, Khān-i Kalān. His discourtesy led him constantly into quarrels with everybody, and on this account he suffered much molestation.
The following verses are by him:—
“Majnūn did not know that a lover is disgraced in the world, I am disgraced by love and devoted to being a lover.”
“The new moon of ‘Īd appears like a key To open the lock of the wine shop of the cupboard on the evening of ‘Īd.”
“The lovely one with the green veil has once more appeared from behind the curtain, The bud laughs like the dawn, and the sun appears.”
“I have on my breast, from my beloved's sword, Lines like those ruled on paper with a ruler.”
