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.

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 (1797-1869) lived at a time of historic change in India, a period when the British conquest of India was in its ascendancy and the Mughal empire was coming to an end. He was witness to the ravaging of Delhi and its courtly culture, culminating in the uprising of 1857. This trauma, accompanied by his personal losses, informs his poetry, evidenced in Divan-EGhalib, containing 235 Urdu ghazals redolent with a sense of loss, grief and a plangent longing for a vanished way of life. Yet, what sets his poetry apart is an irrepressible sense of humour, energy and linguistic delight that drive his darkest lamentations. In A Tribute to Ghalib, Azra Raza and Sara Suleri Goodyear select twenty-one ghazals that illustrate the astonishing range of Ghalib's many voices and the ideas that populate his poetry. Every ghazal is accompanied by an introduction, a literal translation and a detailed commentary, shedding light on the complexities of the individual sher as well as the ghazal as a whole. This book will be invaluable not only to the Ghalib aficionado but also the lay reader.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIVAN OF GHALIB Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Mirza Asadullah Beg (1797-1869}, known as Ghalib (conqueror) was born in the city of Agra of parents with Turkish aristocratic ancestry. When he was only five his father Abdullah Beg Khan died in a battle while working under Rao Raja Bakhtwar Singh of Alwar and his uncle Nasrullah Beg Khan took charge of him. But he lost his uncle also at the age of eight. He then moved to Delhi. He lived on state patronage, credit or the generosity of friends. His fame came to him posthumously. He had remarked during his life that although his age had ignored his greatness he would be recognized by later generations. History has vindicated his claim. Although he wrote many more ghazals, qit'as and ruba'is in Persian he is more famous for those written in Urdu. Before Ghalib, the Urdu ghazal was primarily an expression of anguished love but Ghalib expressed his philosophy and cynicism. In keeping with the conventions of the ghazal, in most of Ghalib's couplets the 'beloved' could be a beautiful woman, boy, monarch or even... God or the Spiritual Master as in his many Sufi poems. Here is the largest selection of his Persian & Urdu ghazals and other poems in the correct form and meaning in English ever published. Introduction on his Poetry, Life & Times and on the Forms of Poetry he used. Selected Bibliography. Large Format Paperback 7" x 10" 265 pages COMMENTS 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. I am astonished." Dr. Mir Mohammad Taghavi (Dr. of Literature) Tehran. "Superb translations. 99% Hafiz 1% Paul Smith." Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator into Persian and knower of Hafiz's Divan off by heart. Paul Smith is a poet, author and translator of many books of Sufi poets of the Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Pashtu and other languages, including Hafiz, Sadi, Nizami, Rumi, 'Attar, Sana'i, Jahan, Obeyd Zakani, Nesimi, Kabir, Anvari, Ansari, Jami, Khayyam, Rudaki, Yunus Emre, Shah Latif, Mahsati, Bulleh Shah, Khushal Khan Khattak and others and his own poetry, fiction, plays, biographies, children's books and a dozen screenplays. www.newhumanitybooks.com

Book Synopsis The Urdu Ghazal by : Gopi Chand Narang
Download or read book The Urdu Ghazal written by Gopi Chand Narang and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Urdu Ghazal presents the unique flowering of the ghazal as a by-product of India’s composite culture. It explores a variety of influences on the ghazal, including Sufism, Bhakti movement, and infusion of Rekhta and Persian languages and culture. The book elucidates classical ghazal forms that blossomed from the seeds sown by Amir Khusrau in the fourteenth century to achieve great heights of literary excellence during the next 300 years, notably in the works of great poets like Mir and Ghalib. It also illustrates different socio-political and cultural demands of changing times, primarily how the ghazal provided new creative models to deal with literary movements like progressivism, modernism, and postmodernism, through works of pioneering twentieth-century poets like Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Gulzar, and Javed Akhtar.
Download or read book Ghalib written by Gopi Chand Narang and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mirza Asadullah Khan (1797–1869), popularly, Ghalib, is the most influential poet of the Urdu language. He is noted for the ghazals he wrote during his lifetime, which have since been interpreted and sung by different people in myriad ways. Ghalib’s popularity has today extended beyond the Indian subcontinent to the Hindustani diaspora around the world. In this book, Gopi Chand Narang studies Ghalib’s poetics by tracing the archetypical roots of his creative consciousness and enigmatic thought in Buddhist dialectical philosophy, particularly in the concept of shunyata. He underscores the importance of the Mughal era’s Sabke Hindi poetry, especially through Bedil, whom Ghalib considered his mentor. The author also 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, strengthening this central argument. Much has been written about Ghalib’s life and his poetry. A marked departure from this dominant trend, Narang’s book looks at Ghalib from different angles and places him in the galaxy of the great Eastern poets, stretching far beyond the boundaries of India and the Urdu language.
