==Early life==
Aatish was born in 1764. His family is believed to have migrated from Delhi to Lucknow. He lived an independent life without any employment or state patronage. Retaining independent approach and concern for the dignity of man and interest in the expression of subjective experience in poetry, he, along with Imam Baksh Nasikh, who emphasized the form and diction, correctness of idiom and strict observance of the rules of prosody, demarcated the main feature of the poetic identity of his period. He did not adopt self-pity nor melancholy as the keynote of his poetry nor did he opt for sensuousness as its corner stone. His ghazals ring true of his challenging tone which makes him the most prominent ghazal writer of protest poetry in a feudal age.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature Vol.1|author=Amresh Datta|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|page=262|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ObFCT5_taSgC&pg=PA262&dq=haider+ali+aatish&hl=en&sa=X&ei=LMU8VOb6IJOiugTG4oCADg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=haider%20ali%20aatish&f=false}}</ref>
