Book excerpt: Words are prayerfully complaining about whose playful writing? Beautiful images are seen wrapped in paper clothing. This is the opening couplet of Ghalibs Divan and it captures his view of the badly broken world in which he lived and Gods indifference to human condition. The poet faces God and poses a question: Why did you create this universe? What was the purpose? If this is your creation, why do we have so much misery and suffering? Was this creation an act of playfulness or did it have a nobler purpose? People praying and pleading in front of the Creator with paper clothing covering their naked bodies is symbolic of their complete helplessness. In many ways, this sets the stage for Ghalibs struggle to make sense of reality and find a new rationale for our relationship with God.

And although he wrote more in Persian than in Urdu, it was his Urdu poetry that has made him immortal.

Ghalib is not only romantic but is also very deep and philosophical and it is these traits that has made his poetry so precious. In this book Khalid Hameed Shaida, has presented the Urdu translation of Ghalib's Persian odes in verse in the hope that the Urdu-speaking people will also be able to enjoy what their beloved poet wrote in Persian.

Download or read book Tears of Blood written by Sunil Uniyal and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tears of Blood contains poetic renderings of selected Urdu verse of Mirza Muhammad Asadullah Khan Ghalib (1797-1869). These sixty-two ghazals and ninety other shers in English translation, present to the reader the amazing richness and beauty of Ghalibs poetry. Acknowledged by many as the King of Urdu Ghazal, Ghalib belonged to a period when the Mughal Empire was crumbling and the British ultimately established their paramountcy all over India. His ghazals mirror the vulnerability of Man, his grief and sense of loss, his unfulfilled longings, and his souls yearning for Eternal Beauty and Love. The strains of Sufi thought are clearly discernible in his poetry. Though a Muslim, he was liberal in his outlook towards other religions but ridiculed all ritualism and sectarianism of the priestly class. His poetry is, indeed, timeless and he remains the most oft-quoted poet of Urdu language and literature. His popularity may also be gauged by the fact that almost all prominent singers in India and Pakistan have sung his ghazals at one time or the other. As Ghalib himself proudly proclaimed: These verses that I write, descend from some Unseen Power; The sound that my quill releases, is an angels whisper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have ever been fascinated by the articulated rhythm of an Urdu sher and wished to be able to completely understand its intricacies, then 'Andaaz-E-Bayan Ghalib: Oceans of Blood' is highly recommended for you to discover more deeper understanding of Ghalibs compositions in particular. The book contains meaning and explanations (in English) of 12 full Ghazals which featured in the 'Mirza Ghalib Serial' of 1988. The approach in this book is distinctive in the sense that the shers (verses) are explained after being translated simply to provide the true essence of Ghalib's compositions while maintaining the beauty of speech and emphasizing the masterful wordplay. These diligent interpretations allow readers with very little familiarity of Urdu to admire Ghalib's vast array of poetry, from his knack for simple elegance to his taste for contradictory theoretical nuances. Emotions spark ideas that combine with instincts to give birth to poetry. Mirza Ghalib's poetry not only portrays his own life, but also reveals the struggles of the ordinary citizen of the time, which still resonates with us today, making his compositions everlasting. Thanks to his extraordinary combination of romance and elegance, philosophy and spiritualism articulated with an amazing wordplay seldom witnessed in any piece of literature, his compositions have broad appeal to the young and the elderly, spanning cultures and ages. Through this vivid, sarcastic and insightful narrative, Ghalib appears from his compositions as a genius poet of his era, and also one who stands out in history. This volume is an effort by the author to recognize the enormous contribution Ghalib has made to Urdu literature and language. Get the book at https://www.amazon.in/dp/B08CVRST58

Download or read book Ghalib written by Gopi Chand Narang and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This work studies the ingenious poetics of Ghalib by tracing the roots of his creative consciousness and enigmatic thought in Buddhist dialectical philosophy, in particular in Nagarjuna's concept ofshunyata(emptiness or voidness). The author also underscores the importance of the Sabke Hindi tradition, that is, the Indian style of Mughal Persian poetry with indigenized poetics, especially through Abdul-Qadir Bedil, whom Ghalib considered his mentor. He contends that Ghalib reinvented and polished this tradition deploying the dialectical mode and the language of silence he mastered through his understanding of the ancient philosophy of India under the influence of his mentor Bedil of the Sabke Hindi tradition. Gopi Chand Narang engages with Ghalib criticism that has flourished since his death and analyses the important works of the poet, including pieces from early Nuskhas and Divan-e Ghalib, using this central argument."--
