Faiz-ud-din Dehlvi

Biography

Faiz-ud-din Dehlvi was a writer of Delhi, as the word Dehlvi, meaning of Delhi, shows. The title Munshi, used in Persian and Urdu for a secretary, scribe or teacher of letters, marks him as a man of the pen. No Wikipedia article was found for him, and the sources available to this page give neither his birth and death dates nor a list of his other works, so little more can be said here with confidence.

His book on this site is Bazm-e-Akhir (بزم آخر), a title that means the last assembly or the last gathering. A title of this kind points to a look back at a gathering that has come to an end, a theme found in much writing about the Delhi of earlier days. Readers should check the book's own preface and opening pages for its subject, its date and the circumstances of its writing, since this page does not confirm them.
