Book Summary
About the Book: Essential Ghalib
For poetry lovers, Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib (1797-1869) needs no
introduction. His poetry remains both emblematic and enigmatic, and his name is
indelibly associated with the ghazal. However, apart from some well-known
verses, the larger public is unacquainted with his body of work. In The
Essential Ghalib, veteran scholar, author translator Anisur Rahman presents an
exemplary selection of Mirza Ghalibs Urdu couplets, translated in English along
with critical commentaries. Using colloquial and contemporary language, the
translations provide an accessible and pleasurable route to understanding
Ghalibs poetry, while the commentary explores the multiple meanings of the Urdu
original.
A veritable selection of the most remarkable verses
