N1  - For poetry lovers, Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib (1797-1869) needs no introduction. His poetry remains both emblematic and enigmatic, and his name is indelibly associated with the ghazal. However, apart from some well-known verses, the larger public is unacquainted with his body of work. In The Essential Ghalib, veteran scholar, author translator Anisur Rahman presents an exemplary selection of Mirza Ghalibs Urdu couplets, translated in English along with critical commentaries. Using colloquial and contemporary language, the translations provide an accessible and pleasurable route to understanding Ghalibs poetry, while the commentary explores the multiple meanings of the Urdu original.

A veritable selection of the most remarkable verses by Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib, The Essential Ghalib is a worthy addition to every ghazal aficionados bookshelf
