Khaliq Mir, a dervish, originally hailed from Nambalhar, a small village in Budgam, before moving to Srinagar in search of a livelihood.
The Jammu and Kashmir Academy of Art, Culture and Languages has published and revised the collection four times [3].
A monograph on Mir has been published by the Sahitya Akademi, Government of India, in both Urdu and Kashmiri [4].
In line with Sufi tradition, Mir's poetry often deals with concepts such as beauty and truth [5].
