The same manuscript contains bios and portraits of shaykhs, poets, and others who were active in and around Lucknow and Faizabad, including this guy, who may be the Urdu poet Imam Bakhsh Nasikh
OTD Imam Baksh Nasikh died in 1838 in Lucknow.
He was born in 1775 at Faizabad. During his childhood, he came to Lucknow & learned Persian & Arabic. He was also fond of wrestling. He was inspired by Mir Taqi Mir & wanted to became his disciple but Mir refused!
