Momin Khan Momin: 100 Selected Ghazals – Urdu
With Pronunciation and Glossary
Introduction to Momin Khan Momin: 100 Selected Ghazals. This book is in Urdu
Momin Khan Momin (1800–1852) is one of the most refined and beloved poets of the classical Urdu ghazal tradition. A contemporary of Ghalib, yet distinct in voice and sensibility, Momin’s verse is marked by a delicate emotional poise, exquisite phrasing, and an understated romanticism that lingers long after the couplet is read. His ghazals often carry the weight of longing in deceptively simple lines—imbued with layered meanings, linguistic grace, and emotional resonance.
This carefully selected volume presents one hundred of Momin’s most memorable ghazals, chosen for their lyrical beauty, thematic depth, and representative charm. In keeping with the principles of this publication series, the complete Urdu text is fully marked with diacritics (eʿrāb), allowing readers to engage with the poetry in its proper rhythm, pronunciation, and sound—an especially important feature for learners, students, and oral reciters of Urdu.
Additionally, a comprehensive Urdu glossary is included, explaining classical and less familiar words and expressions to deepen the reader’s appreciation of the ghazals’ poetic richness.
Momin Khan Momin: 100 Selected Ghazals is not just a collection — it is an invitation to rediscover a poet of subtle intensity, and to experience the music of Urdu verse in its truest, most resonant form.
