He was originally known as Mīr Wā‘iẓ (the preacher) and was a native of Badakhshān. He held shining meetings for preaching. The following verses are his:—
"Though my head become the dust of thy path and be carried away on the breeze, It is impossible that the thought of thy love should leave my memory."
"My heart is disturbed, as are thy tresses in the breeze; Thou hast not undone even the smallest knot in my string of difficulties."
