Introduction to Mirza Ghalib’s 999 Verses with Pronunciation and Interpretation. This book is in Urdu
This landmark volume presents 999 selected verses by Mirza Ghalib, the unparalleled master of Urdu poetry, in a format designed for clarity, depth, and engagement. Each verse is provided with full diacritics (zer, zabar, pesh, tashdeed) and precise punctuation, allowing readers—novice and advanced alike—to experience Ghalib’s language as it was meant to be heard and understood.
Alongside the verses are critical interpretations and commentary drawn from some of Urdu’s most distinguished scholars and critics, including Hali, Tabatabai, Shamsur Rahman Faruqi, Josh Malsiani, Abdul Bari Aasi, Zamin Kantori, Gyan Chand, Nasiruddin Nasir, and others. Their insights shed light on the philosophical, linguistic, and emotional dimensions of Ghalib’s complex poetry.
Thoughtfully edited and elegantly presented, this collection invites readers to encounter Ghalib not only as a poet, but as a timeless voice in conversation with the human condition—probing, ironic, tender, and eternally resonant.
