Dr. Arifshah Gilani, author of 'Ghalib: His Life and Persian Poetry' (see bibliography) states: "Ghalib is, to all intents and purposes, the last of the great classical poets of the Indo-Pakistan sub-continent, because although the late Dr. Sir Muhammad Iqbal has made a distinct and valuable contribution in Persian poetry, still in so far as the language is concerned, he cannot be said to have even approached Ghalib, much less surpassed him." He also states, "Strictly speaking, the real Ghalib lies not only in the twelve hundred Urdu verses but also in the twelve thousand and odd couplets of his Persian poetry... Like an eagle he flew over all the rest. In fact, he was a giant amongst the pygmies. His many sided genius should earn him and abiding niche in the domain of Persian poetry."

Book excerpt: Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib (1797-1869) better known by his nom de-plume, Ghalib, was one of the greatest Urdu and Persian poets of India. Ghalib was born at a time when the glory of the great Mughal Empire had departed from India. He grew up in an era when the British had not only defeated Muslim powers but broken the back of other contenders who were vying to step into the vacant shoes. His ancestors were Turkish mercenary warriors who had migrated to India and were conferred nobility by the ruling powers. He was brought up in a household where no one followed a settled profession. Most of his life Ghalib lived by running up high debts from money lenders. At one time he hid himself in his house for a long period to escape being arrested by his debtors. He was granted a pension of Rupees 10000 which one of his hostile relatives reduced to half. All his life he kept running hither and thither to get it restored. He never succeeded. He liked to drink French wine with his boon companions and gamble. Once he was arrested for gambling and had to suffer a three month incarceration in the British jail. He had an unhappy married life. Unlike himself, his wife was a devout practicing Muslim. He had a short lived affair with a singer that ended when the lady died young. His circumstances improved for a brief interval when he was appointed to correct the poetic compositions of Bahadur Shah, the last Mughal emperor. But the revolt of 1857 put an end to it. For two years Ghalib went about in fear of his life as the vindictive British went about hanging out of hand everyone who was in any way associated with the Mughal court. Ghalib's Persian poetry explores myriad concepts of love, passion, ecstasy, self-realization, life, death, religions and mysticism. At times irreverent, at others passionate and rapturous, Ghalib's poems manage to capture his mystic thought with boldness and clarity, often reminding one of Rumi. His questioning of organized religions, his syncretic appeal to all faiths must have riled many of the contemporary contractors of religion. Ghalib prided himself on the merit of his Persian verses. The corpus of Ghalib's Urdu poetry is small but the volume of his Persian verses much larger. In many of his verses he regrets that he was not born in Iran where he thought his poetry would have been better understood and appreciated. It is an irony of fate, that while a large number of translations of his Urdu poetry in various languages of the world have been proliferating, there is hardly any good translation of his Persian verses. Moosa Raza has made an attempt to fill this lacuna. 'The Smile on Sorrow's Lips' contains over four hundred selected Persian couplets of Ghalib, rendered into Urdu verse and into English. A lifelong student of Arabic, Persian, Urdu and English languages, Moosa Raza distinguished himself in the civil service of India and was conferred one of the highest civilian awards, Padma Bhushan, by the President of India, for his distinguished services to the nation. His published works include a memoir of his early years in service, "Of Nawabs and Nightingales," a book on comparative religion "In Search of Oneness" and a volume of Urdu poems "Khwab-e-Natamam" (Unfulfilled Dreams). He continues to read and write in both English and Urdu.
Download or read book Ghalib written by Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This selection of poetry and prose by Ghalib provides an accessible and wide-ranging introduction to the preeminent Urdu poet of the nineteenth century. Ghalib's poems, especially his ghazals, remain beloved throughout South Asia for their arresting intelligence and lively wit. His letters—informal, humorous, and deeply personal—reveal the vigor of his prose style and the warmth of his friendships. These careful translations allow readers with little or no knowledge of Urdu to appreciate the wide range of Ghalib's poetry, from his gift for extreme simplicity to his taste for unresolvable complexities of structure. Beginning with a critical introduction for nonspecialists and specialists alike, Frances Pritchett and Owen Cornwall present a selection of Ghalib's works, carefully annotating details of poetic form. Their translation maintains line-for-line accuracy and thereby preserves complex poetic devices that play upon the tension between the two lines of each verse. The book includes whole ghazals, selected individual verses from other ghazals, poems in other genres, and letters. The book also includes a glossary, the Urdu text of the original poetry, and an appendix containing Ghalib's comments on his own verses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib was born in Agra in the closing years of the eighteenth century. A precocious child, he began composing verses at an early age and gained recognition while he was still very young. He wrote in both Urdu and Persian and was also a great prose stylist. He was a careful, even strict, editor of his work who took to publishing long before his peers. His predilection for writing difficult, obscure poetry peppered with complex metaphors produced a unique commentarial tradition that did not extend beyond his work. Commentaries on his current Urdu divan have produced a field of critical writing that eventually lead to the crafting of a critical lens with which to view the classical ghazal. The nineteenth century was the height of European colonialism. British colonialism in India produced definitive changes in the ways literature was produced, circulated and consumed. Ghalib responded to the cultural challenge with a far-sightedness that was commendable. His imagination sought engagement with a wider community of readers. His deliberate switch to composing in Persian shows that he wanted his works to reach beyond political boundaries and linguistic barriers. Ghalib's poetic trajectory begins from Urdu, then moves to composing almost entirely in Persian and finally swings back to Urdu. It is nearly as complex as his poetry. However, his poetic output in Persian is far more than what he wrote in Urdu. More important is that he gave precedence to Persian over Urdu. Ghalib's voice presents us with a double bind, a linguistic paradox. Exploring his life, works and philosophy, this authoritative critical biography of Ghalib opens a window to many shades of India and the subcontinent's cultural and literary tradition.

Download or read book Mirza Ghalib written by and published by Sterling Publishers Pvt. Ltd. This book was released on 2005 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has the unique distinction of presenting, in one compendious volume, the best of Ghalib in poetry and prose. It contains 104 ghazals, seven miscellaneous poems, and a bouquet of sixty-eight selected letters, besides a few striking couplets and qitas. The ghazals and poems are first given in the original form in calligraphic Urdu. This is followed, on the opposite page, by their English translation, couched in a language that is simple, lucid and rhythmical. The ghazals and poems have also been provided with a transliterated version in the Roman script. This should enable the non-Urdu-knowing reader to have a feel and flavour of the Urdu text. In addition, the book contains a critical-cum-biographical introduction which is comprehensive, well-documented, and insightful. It is hoped that the book will receive a welcome response from the lovers of Ghalib, who was an outstanding poet fit to rank with the greatest poets of the world, and a precious part of our cultural heritage.

Book excerpt: Original name of Mirza Ghalib was Asad Ullah Beg Khan who proved to be a great classical Urdu and Persian poet. He was also known as Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib, or Mirza Ghalib, or Dabir-Ul-Mulk or Najm-ud-Daula. He adopted his pen name as Asad, or Ghalib. In his lifetime, he wrote hundreds of Ghazals out of which 234 are available in Diwan-e-Ghalib. Perhaps many of his poems are lost as he used to sell the paper on which he used to write his poems for buying food. Most of his Ghazals have been sung by well-known singers privately. He is consid-ered to be the most dominant Urdu poet par excellence.
