About the Poet
Faayiz was a Dehlvi poet from the pre-Mir era (early 18th century). Not much is known about him but he was a contemporary of the poet Wali Deccani. His ghazals were highly influenced by Wali's poetry collection (Deewan). He was primarily a Persian poet, however, adapted Wali's Deccani style of Urdu (which has many local Hindi dialect words) as seen in the couplet presented in this post.
