Description:
It has been now almost two hundred years since the great poet passed away yet even to this day his position, as the 'greatest poet of the subcontinent' lies unchallenged.
Ever since his popularity was on the rise in Delhi, a number of poets have tried to copy his style- 'Zouq' being one of them, who through one of his verses admitted that despite giving his best he was not able to imitate Meer's style.
Absolutely immaculate in his 'rubai's' and 'qaseeday' and in observing the various rules of Urdu and Farsi poetry, Meer was a master of his art. Well versed in both Urdu and Farsi, verse after verse inked by him appealed to our senses and touched the soul. His poetry, clear and fluent, mesmerized the reader or listener not only for the content it carried or the words through which the verses were woven but it was also quite unfathomable that a man could be as creative and skilled as Meer was in this form of literary creation.
The first ever publication of the complete works of Meer Taqi Meer came out from Calcutta, Fort William and was the result of the faith entrusted in Meer's ability by Kazim Ali Jawan. Since then various publishing houses have tried their hand in collecting Meer's works but unfortunately none of the compilations have been complete or error free.
This new edition of 'Kulyat- e -Meer' has attempted to address these faults and is accepted in Pakistan as the most accurate and complete collection of Meer Taqi Meer's literary efforts.
It has taken over a thousand pages and 6 diwans to encompass the complete works of the poet. The variety and enormity of the collection has made the inclusion of an index imperative at the start of the book. Through the index the reader can easily home in on the topic or subject he's interested in.
