Abstract
Mullah Mhuammad Qasim Mashhadi was a famous
poet of the Shahjehan's period. He was born at
Mashhad, Iran. When the atmosphere in Iran under the
Safvid Rule became non conducive for poetry, number
of poets including Mullah Qasim immigrated to the
Subcontinent. Great Persian poet Mirza Sa'ib Tabrezi
was his mentor in poetry. Mullah Qasim stayed at the
state of Bijapure. He did not join any royal court as he
preferred to compose popular poetry. He was one of
the pioneers and representatives of the Sabk-e-Hindi
style of Persian poetry. His verse is rich in diversity of
topics, techniques and other poetic beauties. Lucidity,
flights of thoughts, delicacy, and richness of meanings
are a few salient features of his poetry. He was
survived by a Diwan.
