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 distinct Bengalinized dialect of Urdu that is native to Old Dhaka beside Dhakaiya Kutti a dialect of Bangla, in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is being spoken by the city's Sobbas community, Khusbas community, Nawab Family, and other native communities. Sobbasi / Khosbasi is not the name of any language but the adjective and identifies some communities as referred by Hakim Habibur Rahman in Dhaka Pachas Baras Pahle . The usage of this language is gradually declining due to negative perceptions following it being forced upon the people of erstwhile East Bengal.^[1] However, at present, with the patronage and sole efforts of the cultural and social activists of the Dhakaiya Urdu language group, Dhakaiya Urdu is slowly blossoming and expanding again.Today, Dhakaiya Urdu is one of the two dialects of Urdu spoken in Bangladesh; the other one being the Urdu spoken by the Biharis and Stranded Pakistanis in Bangladesh.
