Ghalib, a shayar never came before, whose shayari is as a flame for the world of poetry.

Dear Sir,
With efforts like this Hindustan will remain ever immortal. “Koi to baat hai ki hasti mit-tee nahin hamari”
As an Indian I shall ever be proud of Mirza Ghalib whose poetry opens every other time a new philosophical horizen.

Hi,
I need to gift my Grandfather with works of Mirza Ghalib. The books should have the explanation in english as it has in the poetry posted on the website. I stay in Mumbai and would be great if someone can help me on this by mailing or posting a reply on this. I shall then approach the bookstore and get them.
Regards,
Pankaj

“Fir-ke nigaah Char-su thahri ushi~ke ruBaru,
ush~ne to meri cHasma kO quilla~numa bana diya”

A poet who is like moon among the stars.I remember his lines :
Ragoon mein daudte rehne ke hum nahin kayal
jo aankh hi se na tapka to vo lahu kya hai.
I love to read to these lines again and again and can’t stop admiring their intensity
