Mirza Abdul-Qadir Bedil (1644-1720)
One of the greatest persian poets of all times, Mirza Abdul Qadir Bedil was born in 1644 in Akbarnagar,(east of Bhagalpur) while most of the earlier scholars have stated Azimabad to be his birth place but a recent research suggests that he was born in Akbar Nagar (Raj Mahal) at the Bengal-Bihar Border where his father resided as his mother was a Bengali.
Born into a Arlas Chughtai Turk family. His father Mirza Abdul Khaliq, a retired soldier, died when he was four years old while his Bengali mother passed away when he was six. Persian was his second language. At the age of ten he finished Quran .His Uncle Mirza Qalandar Baig took very good care of him and sent him to various teachers under whom he studied language, literature, Arabic Grammer , Persian Prose, and traditional subjects.
Bedil is one of the most outstanding poets of the Persian language, especially the Sabki-i Hindi genre. Sabk-i Hindi is a style of poetry in Persian language, which emerged in 15th century from Indian Sub-continent. He was a Sufi, a Philosopher poet,
Bedil’s main interests are philosophical and metaphysical themes that he weaves in such a captivating but complex metaphors and symbols that it was difficult for Persians to grasp , hence he was not well received in Iran in the early years. He used a convoluted language including many combinations of words which he had coined. In this process he does not lose the crux/message of the composition rather he takes the meaning to its zenith that he is dubbed as Abu-Al-Ma’ani ( Father of poetic meaning )
