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.

He is consid-ered to be the most dominant Urdu poet par excellence.

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: One of the most oft-quoted poets of the nineteenth century, Ghalib was an intellectual colossus, whose poetry is imbued with timelessness and universality. Born and brought up in North India, he wrote both in his mother tongue, Urdu, and in Persian, the established and privileged language of literature and officialdom. He wrote exquisite prose, but is better known for his poetry, particularly his Urdu ghazals. In The Evolution of Ghalib, the author, Hasan Abdullah, provides a detailed introduction that describes Ghalib's life history and brings out his persona, and situates his work in time and space. He briefly discusses the Urdu language and ghazal as a literary form and familiarizes the reader with the words, symbols and concepts crucial for understanding Ghalib's poetry. Based on a chronological reading of Ghalib's Urdu ghazals, the author identifies the different stages and phases of the poet's development and from each of these phases, selects and interprets verses, including those that differ from the dominant trend, in order to reveal Ghalib's intellectual evolution. The book aims to make reading and understanding of Ghalib's Urdu ghazals a pleasurable and enlightening experience.

Download or read book Ghalib written by Mehr Afshan Farooqi and published by Penguin Random House India Private Limited. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 403 pages. 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.

Book Synopsis Digital Version of Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib's Original Manuscript Divan Nuskha-E-Hamidiya by : Mirza Ghalib
Download or read book Digital Version of Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib's Original Manuscript Divan Nuskha-E-Hamidiya written by Mirza Ghalib and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-24 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manuscript of Mirza Ghalib's 1821 Divan discovered in Bhopal in 1917. Contains twice the number of verses compared to his previously published "official" Divans. Includes notes and additions in Ghalib's own hand. Rediscover Mirza Ghalib through his "unknown" Ghazals contained in this manuscript which was Ghalib's personal copy for over a decade. A treasure for all Ghalib lovers! Dr. Farooqi explains: "In 1918, some fifty years after Ghalib's death, a manuscript was discovered in the Hamidiyya Library in the princely state of Bhopal that was beyond doubt a Divan of the great poet. The colophon revealed that it had been calligraphed (in 1237 hijri, corresponds to1821CE) by Hafiz Mueenuddin. The manuscript or nuskha (as we call it in Urdu) was written in a pleasing hand and the text enclosed with red, gold and blue margins. Unlike the general practice of beginning a Divan with a ghazal, this Nuskha begins with a qita' in Farsi followed by two qasidahs in Urdu. The page marking the first ghazal, the famous, naqsh faryadi hai kiski shokhi-e tahrir ka, is elaborately embellished with gold and blue. Ghalib had composed much more than the 1800 verses presented in the mutadavil (official) Divan. The discovery of the Nuskha -e Hamidiyya was phenomenal in that it revealed a large number of verses that were not included in Ghalib's Divan! Of the 1900 verses that were presented in the Hamidiyya, only 700 had ever been included in the Divan. Of the 1900 verses, 1883 are from ghazals. According to Maulana Arshi, the Nuskha was prepared for Ghalib's personal use. It was given away most likely to a shagird after another copy had been made. It is possible that after Ghalib had made selections for Gul-ra'na (1828), he gave away this Nuskha. It is also possible that he had got another copy made (Nuskha-e Sherani, 1826) for safekeeping while he journeyed to Calcutta with the Nuskha-e Hamidiyya. One of the controversial features of the Nuskha is the addition of ghazals in the margins in a consistent but somewhat unpolished hand. The question is: Who made those additions? Maulana Arshi is of the opinion that the writing is in Ghalib's hand. Some scholars think the handwriting is not sophisticated enough to be Ghalib's. According to Gyan Chand Jain, the corrections and additions to the Hamidiyya were done after the circulation of the Nuskha -e Sherani and are not in Ghalib's hand. New ghazals and verses added to older ghazals were copied from the Sherani in the margins of the Hamidiyya. The Nuskha was last seen by Maulana Arshi in 1944. In the tumultuous events of India's Partition, the original Nuskha was lost. What is currently available in print is Hamid Khan sahib's 1969 edition that was assembled with the help of notes that the latter took in 1938, along with Mufti Anvarul Haq's edition and the Nuskha-e Sherani. The re-appearance of the original Nuskha-e Hamidiyya after nearly 75 years is a momentous event for Ghalibians all over the world.." The current publication is a full digital facsimile reproduction of the Nuskha-e-Hamidiya. A "must-have" publication for anyone interested in urdu poetry and especially the works of the legendary Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib.

He has no peer!" Goethe"It is as if his mental Eye, endowed with wonderful acuteness of vision, had penetrated into those provinces of thought which we of a later age were destined to inhabit." Gertrude Bell"Once a person has studied Hafiz he has reached the top of the mountain, from whence he beholds the sublimity of the immanence of God." Inayat Khan "Hafiz defies you to show him or put him in a condition inopportune or ignoble... He fears nothing. He sees too far; he sees throughout; such is the only man I wish to see or be." Emerson"Hafiz is highly esteemed by his countrymen as Shakespeare by us, and deserves as serious consideration." A.J. Arberry"There is no equal to Hafiz in poetry. He was a Perfect Master... His Divan is the best book in the world because it engenders feelings which ultimately lead to illumination." Meher Baba"Hafiz breathes originality in all his works ... in no other country, was ever born a genius so rare. He dwells on the degeneracy of his age, on the vanity of the world on universal charity, and on toleration and liberty of conscience." H. Wilberforce Clarke"We may state, without incurring the danger of modernization, that in these ghazals Hafiz applied quite consciously and consistently a method of revealing his hero's inner condition at which European literature first arrived only in the XX century." Michael J. ZandCOMMENTS ON PAUL SMITH'S TRANSLATION OF HAFIZ'S 'DIVAN'."It is not a joke... the English version of ALL the ghazals of Hafiz is a great feat and of paramount importance.

Download or read book Ghalib written by Raza Mir and published by Penguin Enterprise. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mirza Ghalib is perhaps the most widely chronicled Urdu poet in English. But few can pithily capture the essence of his life and work as enjoyably as Raza Mir can. In this lively, witty and illuminating account, Ghalib emerges from these pages as a man of his time but also one who looms large over history. Raza infuses his research with just the right amount of anecdote and trivia, evoking Ghalib as an outspoken genius, a game-changer who never shied away from aiming a witty barb (or three) at his rivals. Moreover, Ghalib also lived in a crucial age that saw the end of Mughal rule and the destruction of his beloved Delhi. Ghalib: A Thousand Desires also comprises a selection of the great poet's most enduring poems and ghazals, accompanied by Raza's insightful commentary that decodes underlying themes and meanings in these verses.
