Hui muddat ke Ghalib mar gaya par yaad aataa hai
Woh har ek baat pe kehna ke yoon hota to kia hota…
149 years since Ghalib departed but his memory still lingers on in the heart of every poetry enthusiast.
The nineteenth century was the age of upheaval, doubt, religious controversies, esoteric doctrines, orthodoxy and moral recession for sub-continent. And it was this situation of utter helplessness and decay that gave us Mirza Ghalib AKA the greatest Urdu poet of all times.
Known for his spontaneity, quick-wittedness, persistence,
Lazim tha k dekho mera rasta koi din aur?
Tanha gay kion? abb raho tanha koi din aur…
jate hue kahte ho qayamat ko milenge,
kya khub! qayamat ka hai goya koi din aur…
