-mir taq was a famous poet from delhi , once he sat with his hakim friend who also happened to be a poet and admired poetry , enjoying and discussing words and arrangements of words in those days was a practice , the hakim asked mir taqi to recite his latest couplet -the poet recited his opening lines from his newest gazal- -if that saucy name was not mentioned -gathering would have congregated still -hakim listened and did not applaud as expected, the poet was some eighteen years older yet the hakim did not even once politely praise it
