Siraj Aurangabadi (Urdu: سراج اورنگ آبادی) (11 March 1712 - 1763) was an Indian mystic poet. His full name was Siraj-Uddin Aurangabadi.[citation needed]
Works
The anthology of his poems, Kulliyat-e-Siraj, contains his ghazals along with his masnavi Nazm-i-Siraj. He was influenced by Persian poet Hafiz.[citation needed]
He had also compiled and edited a selection of Persian poets under the title "Muntakhib Diwan". The anthology of his poems, entitled Siraj-e-Sukhan, was included in Kulliyat-e-Siraj.[citation needed]
In his later life, Aurangabadi renounced the world and became a Sufi ascetic. He lived a life of isolation, though a number of younger poets and admirers used to gather at his place for poetic instruction and religious edification.[citation needed]
His best known ghazal Khabar E tahayyur E ishq sun has been sung by Abida Parveen.[citation needed]
