Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib is a name that needs no introduction because Ghalib is the greatest poet of Urdu language. Ghalib was essentially a Persian poet and had a love and pride for the Persian language. During the period when Ghalib was writing poetry in Persian, the Persian language in India was on the decline. Therefore, very soon Ghalib understood that he could not write poetry in difficult words because there were no more people who understood the poetry of difficult language. He focused on simplicity in poetry. On the decline of Persian he started poetry in Urdu language and wrote poetry in very simple Urdu language. This poetry became the reason for his fame and respect. This poetry made him famous all over the world. This book is based on poet Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib's Urdu poetry which includes more than 200 ghazals and qasidas. Ghalib's poetry has been sung by many singers in their own style, which is sure to please the heart. Readers of Ghalib can benefit from this.
Ghalib is the poetical surname of Asadullah Khan, the greatest poet of Urdu language. He is the great poet of last tenure of Delhi literary society. He profited from the western influences and the spirit of Indian Renaissance. He employed ‘heterogeneous ideas’ and yoked them together with voilence like the English Metaphysical poets.
Ghalib’s life was uninterrupted affliction, suffering and grief except for a brief period in his youth. He came of a Turk family, and his ancestors occupied important designations in the armies of the Mughals and East India Company. He was born in Agra in 1797. When he was five years old, his father Abdullah Baigg Khan was killed in action. Then, he was taken care of by his uncle Nasrullah Baig Khan. When he was nine years old, his uncle nasrullah died. Ghalib henceforth lived with the rich mother's parents. Here, there are many unfrugal habits developed in Ghalib's nature which were responsible for many of his troubles in later years. He did not get education with any systematic way. He was learnt all he knew mainly by personal effort and extraordinary intelligence. At the age of thirteen, he was married to a respectable family of Delhi and in 1812 moved to Delhi permanently.
He never recognised by literary societies and Darbar of Delhi and Lucknow. King of Awadh, Nasiruddin Haidar granted him a reward of Rs. 5000 but it never got this stipend. He was swindled by the Darbar's officials. The Delhi Darbar honored him in 1850. Bahadur Shah Zafar conferred a title on him, and appointed him the royal historiographer. In 1854 he was raised to the post laureateship on the death of Zauq but hardly three years had gone by when the Mutiny broke out, and all of Ghalib’s dreams were shattered. Ghalib was a witness to the gruesome events and hardships on 1857.
Mirza Asad Ullakh Khan Ghalib wrote more in Persian than in Urdu. He considered his Persian poetry and prose to be more important, and, in fact, wished to be judged by his Persian works. Although he is rightly recongnized as the last classical Persian poet of Delhi. He is more loved and remembered for his Urdu poetry and letters. He started poetry in ten years age. He wrote highly Persianized and obscure poetry. This was criticized and parodied by his contemporaries. In the age of 25 years, he discarded much of his scholastic poetry that offended good taste. After having once discovered his style, Ghalib wrote with effortless abandon in much simpler and purer Urdu language.
Ghalib is highly favourite poet, also a complex poet. His world is too vast and too contradictory to fit into any one category of things. His Ghazals (Poems) are unique.
