Heyat Mahmud

Qadi Heyat Mahmud (Bengali: হেয়াত মামুদ^{[note 1]}; 1693–1760) was a medieval Bengali poet, mystic and judge. Although his works, like other Middle Bengali poetry, are religion-centric, they are marked by social consciousness and tolerance, and contain many Rangpuri dialectic features. Mahmud is considered to be the last poet of Middle Bengali literature,^[1] and his lifespan directly ends shortly after the British East India Company's victory at the Battle of Plassey.^[2]
