Hakim Habibur Rahman was one of the leading Urdu writers in Dhaka.

Dhakaiya Urdu, sometimes unofficially referred to as Sobbasi Language or Khosbasi Language, is a Bengalinized dialect of Urdu that is native to Old Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is being spoken by the Sobbas or Khosbas community, Nawab Family and some other communities such as the Shia community of Old Dhaka. The usage of this language is gradually declining due to negative perceptions following it being forced upon the people of erstwhile East Bengal during Bengali language movement in Pakistan.^[1] Today, Dhakaiya Urdu is one of the two dialects of Urdu spoken in Bangladesh; the other one being the Urdu spoken by the Bihari refugees.
