Mirza Hadi Ruswas was born in 1857 in Lucknow in Awadh region in today's Uttar Pradesh. He was an author, best remembered for his famous novel Umrao Jan Ada.

It remains one of the most popular novels in India and Pakistan. Several movies and TV serials based on the movie have been made in India and Pakistan. Ruswa passed away in 1931.

Read his ghazal:

अतवार तेरे अहल-ए-ज़मीं से नहीं मिलते
अंदाज़ किसी और हसीं से नहीं मिलते
[atvaar=taur, tariiqa ie ways]

उनकी भी बहर-हाल गुज़र जाती हैं रातें
जो लोग किसी जोहरा-जबीं से नहीं मिलते

तुम मेहर सही माह सही हम से मिलो तो
क्या अहल-ए-फलक अहल-ए-ज़मीं से नहीं मिलते

ए हजरत-ए-दिल उन से बनी है न बनेगी
क्यूँ आप किसी और हसीं से नहीं मिलते

 मिर्ज़ा रुसवा

atvaar tere ahl-e-zamiiN se nahiiN milte
andaaz kisii aur hasiiN se nahiiN milte

unkii bhii bahar-haal guzar jaatii haiN raateN
jo log kisii zohra-jabiiN se nahiiN milte

tum meher sahii, maah sahii, ham se milo to
kyaa ahl-e-falak, ahle-e-zamiiN se nahiiN milte

aye hazrat-e-dil un se banii hai na banegii
kyuuN aap kisii aur hasiiN se nahiiN milte

Mirzaa Ruswa
