Mirza Hatim Ali Beg Mehr

Witty and ingenious in the mid-nineteenth-century manner, they include a ghazal written wholly in undotted letters, one with a Persian refrain, a ghazal on Holi, and a lament for Benares, the city he left and longed for: "Ever since fate parted me from Benares, only 'Alas, Benares!' stays on my tongue."
