Shah Muhammad Sagir

Shah Muhammad Sagir lived at the end of the fourteenth and the beginning of the fifteenth century, under the reign of Ghiyasuddin Azam Shah, sultan of Bengal from 1389 to 1410, whose court poet he probably was. His work praises his parents and his teachers without naming them or saying where they lived, and nothing else is known of him; the copies of his verses found in the region of Chittagong, Comilla and Tripura lead him to be regarded as a native of eastern Bengal. He is said to have been the first to bring the matter of Arabic and Persian letters into Bengali.
