The aim is to make available the whole of the published Diwan of Ghalib to readers unable to read it in the original Urdu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMirza Asad-Ullah-Khan Ghalib (1797-1869) is by common consent acknowledged, along with Mir, as the greatest of Urdu poets.  Both belonged to Delhi, and loved their then resplendent capital.  Ghalib was born in Agra, of Turkish stock, his pedigree going back to the legendary kings of ancient Persia.  At the early age of 13, he was married, and came soon after, around 1812, to live with his wife’s family in Delhi. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike Mozart, he was a precocious genius, and began to write ghazals when he was but 9 years old.  When he was 12, his poems were considered good enough to be presented to the aged Mir, then living in exile in Lucknow.  The famous predecessor prophesized a great future for the child, if well directed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany erudite studies of Ghalib and of various aspects of his work have been published in Urdu as well as more recently, in English, in the subcontinent and abroad.  The earliest was in Urdu by Altaf Husain Hali, who met Ghalib, then in his old age.  Ghalib’s ghazals have been translated, in part, into various languages, sometimes as whole ghazals.  These translations were rarely in rhyme, it being considered impractical, and even impossible, to make a rhymed translation of all or even a small number of ghazals.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor easy reference, the ghazals and other poems have been numbered serially as also the verses of each piece.  For those readers who understand Urdu but cannot read it, a phonetic transcription of the Urdu text into Roman script is provided together with a key.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDedication\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePortrait of Ghalib\u003cbr\u003eKey to Roman Transcription of Urdu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGhazals\u003cbr\u003eQasidas (Panegyrics)\u003cbr\u003eMasnavi (In praise of the Mango)\u003cbr\u003eQitas (Fragments)\u003cbr\u003eQuatrains (Ruba’I’yat)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAddendum I (Zamima-e-Diwan-e-Ghalib)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAddendum II (From the Nuskha-e-Hamidia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Ghazals in the published Diwan (First lines in English \u0026amp; Roman)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Ghazals in Addendum I (Z.D.G.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Ghazals in Addendum II (N.H)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Sarvat Rahman \/ Ghalib Institute \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153607356784,"sku":"11761","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/11761.jpg?v=1793911553","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/diwan-e-ghalib-complete-translation-into-english-roman-english","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
