Shah Muhammad Sagir is believed to have served
during the close of the fourteenth and the beginning of the fifteenth
centuries as his yusuf-zulekha
has commendatory verses for Gauda King ghiyasuddin
azam shah (1389-1410). He was perhaps the court poet of Azam
Shah and wrote the volume at his request. Although it has praise for the
parents and teachers of the poet, it does not mention their names or residence.
Muhammad Sagir is considered to be the first writer to introduce Perso-Arabic
literature to Bengalis. [Wakil Ahmed] |
