This is reflected in his ghazals where his grief at times is so intense that he becomes like a dispassionate observer to his sufferings. Not only will the readers relish the artistic and creative genius of the man in portraying the cries of his broken heart and his contempt for the world, embedded within the verses one will also find minute details from the life and times of Ghalib.
Although some of his poetry has been in Urdu, most of Ghalib’s earlier works have been penned in Persian. It is astonishing to comprehend that the poet after 30 years of absence reverted back to Urdu poetry with the greatest of ease, producing gems of Urdu literature that still sparkle to this day. Some of these gems are contained in this treasure trove of ghazals.
