The Tomb of Mirza Ghalib
Mohammed Asadullah Khan “Mirza Ghalib” is one of India’s most popular poets, skilled in Urdu and Farsi (Persian). The Tomb of Ghalib is next to Hazrat Nizamuddin’s Mazaar. The tomb is made of white marble, and is worthy of the poet. The location is rather squalid, though. The tomb complex is usually kept locked; apparently there are loads of drug addicts in the area.
The inscription on the tombstone is in Persian - Ghalib’s house in Ballimaran, Chandi Chowk, Old Delhi back in the day when I lived in the city. Here’re a couple of assorted verses:
Hue Marke hum jo ruswa, hue kyoun na garke dariya
Na kabhi Janaza Uthta, nahin mazar hota.
Hain Aur bhi Duniya mein sukhanwar, bahut acche,
Par kahtein hai ki ghalib ka hai andaze bayan aur.

Tarun ji,
Sher durust kar lijiye
Hue mar ki bhi jo ruswaa, hue kyon naa gharqe dariya
Na kabhi janaazaa uthtaa, na kaheeN mazaar hota
Hain aur bhi duniya mein sukhanwar kayi achhe
Kehtein hain ki Ghalib ka hai andaaz-e-bayaaN aur
Niazmand,
Shyam
