	Ghalib, the poet’s chronicler
		Ghalib had already begun to use the sophisticated idiom that was to distinguish all he wrote.
		Ghalib, indeed, was dogged all his life by the problem of how to maintain a standard of living worthy of his class with very small, income.
		Ghalib is an invaluable chronicler of this turbulent period.

		GHALIB - INTRODUCTION Mirza Asadullah Beg Khan -- known to posterity as Ghalib, a `nom de plume' he adopted in the tradition of all clasical Urdu poets, was born in the city of Agra, of parents with Turkish aristocratic ancestry, probably on December 27th, 1797.
		Ghalib's one wish, perhaps as strong as the wish to be a great poet, that he should have a regular, secure income, never materialized.
		Ghalib was probably not as fully aware of his dilemma as the intellectuals of today might be; to assign such awareness to a mid-nineteenth-century mind would be to violate it by denying the very terms -- which means limitations --, as well -- of its existence.

		Ghalib was born in 1797 at Agra, son a high-ranking army officer and descendent of the ancient Seljuq kings.
		Ghalib's poetry is full of intense grief and yearning — for an earlier love affair, death of an adopted son, for the disappearance of court life and a world of beauty and reflection.
		Ghalib was a master of the qasida and ghazal.

		The Ghalib Academy in New Delhi was established as a `literary and cultural' memorial by Hakeem Abdul Hameed, to eternalize memory of Ghalib in 1969.
		Ghalib Academy is situated opposite the Qawwali hall of the holy shrine of Hazrat Khwaja Nizam Uddin Aulia near the mausoleum of Ghalib, in the bustling by-lane of Nizamuddin.
		Ghalib Academy with its tireless devotion to its cause of familiarizing people with the works of the great poet and bringing them together on one platform has, in Shamim Haider's view who is the librarian at the Ghalib Academy, succeeded in creating a niche for itself and it is extremely popular and respected, even abroad.

		When Ghalib was six years old, he lost his father, an army officer in the Alwar army, he had no financial resources to fall back on but depended wholly on his monthly pension of Rs 750 granted to him by the British government.
		Ghalib thought highly of his Persian poetry but he felt that his Urdu poetry was bey-rang (colourless).
		Ghalib’s literary rivals condemned his Persian poetry as intricate, obscure and elusive Ghalib wrote a great deal of Persian poetry and used literary form such as ghazal, ode and quatrain.

	Ghalib (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Ghalib is regarded as a master of prose and poetry in Persian, but it is for his contribution to Urdu literature that he is most acclaimed.
		One of Ghalib’s claims to immortality is his originality of thought as well as imagery, another is his allusive and suggestive style.
		Ghalib’s verses are popular even today and have been translated into several regional languages, for example, Bengali.

	Byjameela Siddiqi: "Mirza Ghalib: The "Godless" Lover"
		Ghalib was buried in the Nizamuddin area of Delhi, also home to the shrines of the Sufi Master Nizamuddin 'Awliya and his favorite disciple, the multifaceted poet-musician Amir Khusraw Dihiawi.
		Ghalib knew that his mastery over the Urdu language was unequaled, and he could also hold his own with the greatest representatives of the Persian poetry.
		Ghalib was in fact so sure of himself and of his own poetic genius that this single fact may have contributed to the general hostility of his contemporaries, as well as those in positions of power.

	ratheesh: Mirza GhalibI read the book Mirza Ghalib
		In this "biographical scenario", Ghalib has been portrayed as a humanist, a spontaneous writer who speaks in ghazals, one who is brave and proud who doesn’t want to bow in front of anyone even in days of crisis.
		Other than writing poetry, most of Ghalib's time was spent in drinking wine and gambling; but he wasn’t ashamed of it and never tried to hide anything in his life.
		Ghalib's material life had never been comfortable, as he always had been under financial crisis.

		The essence of Ghalib is the essence of urdu, the ability of a language to have such depth to it, that words are not amorphous, but these fluid entities whose meanings change with context.
		Ghalib as we know was a romantic at heart, and a rather failed one, he never was able to get Laila.
		For Ghalib as he says in the second misrah, if you do not acknowledge Mir (mutaqid-e-Mir nahin), than you are not main-stream, you are cut off from the rest of society.

		As late as 1855, Ghalib complained that he could not lay his hands on a copy - the booksellers had taken them all.
		Zauq, poet to the Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, died in 1854, and Ghalib succeeded him as the king's ustad.
		One by one, Ghalib saw the bazaars - Khas Bazaar, Urdu Bazaar, Kharam-ka Bazaar, disappear, whole mohallas (localities) and katras (lanes) vanished leaving not a trace behind.

	GHALIB
		Ghalib’s ever lasting quality is his depth of human knowledge and philosophy presented in a unique tongue, diction and tradition of his time.
		It is also my endeavour to acquaint younger readers of Ghalib with the background in which he wrote and to elaborate the underlying hidden and obscure meaning of some verses, thereby to reveal the extent of depth and emotional experience Ghalib was capable of fathoming and understanding.
		Ghalib’s awareness and vision were so acute and penetrating that to preserve sanity he sought a little relief.

		Ghalib's playful poetry in Urdu is fascinating, such as the line in the caption of this review, a fact most Indians are privy to.
		One reason why Ghalib is not as well known as Rumi (though, a better poem, in my opinion) is the fact that his poetry never received good treatment from other translators.
		Ghalib is indeed a great poet and his work must be read by more people.

	Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib - Artists Without Frontiers Online Magazine
		Ghalib is the most famous poet of India and in some ways more celebrated than Tagor, especially among the Urdu speakers and musicians who make a compose on his ghazals.
		Ghalib was borne at the wrong time because it was the period that the British were heavily involved in shaping the Indian literature replacing Persian language with English language as the official language of India.
		This policy affected Ghalib negatively especially that he continued to write in Farsi and wanted to be reckoned as the best Farsi poet of his time.

		Shovana said the idea of choreographing the songs of Saigal's music on Ghalib's poetry came when she saw much similarities and parallelism of the philosophy of quest of inner peace between both the artists.
		The work of Ghalib vibrates even after more than 250 years and the vibrations are reaching out and catching you and you feel as if he was there just yesterday.
