hwaja Ruknuddin Ishq (c. 1720–1788) was a Sufi poet of Azimabad (Patna), one of the early masters of Urdu poetry in Bihar. He founded the khanqah still known as Bargah-e-Ishq, and wrote in Urdu and Persian under the pen name Ishq — love. His ghazals turn on the One seen in every place, “in the Kaaba and in the temple”, and on the restless heart of the seeker.
