		Mir Taqi Mir was born at Agra in 1723.
		Mir is one of the immortals among Urdu poets.
		It is a commonplace of criticism that Mir is a poet of pathos and melancholy moods.

	Urdu Adab in English
		Mir Taqi Mir is one of the immortals among Urdu poets.
		Mir is basically a poet of love, more specially, of love unfulfilled, which has lent to his poetry a peculiar tinge of sadness, not depressing or morbid, but soothing and humanising.
		Mir was a helpless witness to these traumatic events which have left a deep imprint on his mind and art.

	Zikr-i Mir - Mir (Mir Muhammad Taqi)
		In fact, Mir seems at greater pains to describe the lives and accomplishments of friends and some members of his family -- especially his father -- as well as the larger political situation in those tumultuous times.
		Mir seems to relate more of his father's life than his own, leaving out significant details that one might expect in an autobiographical work.
		Mir tends to lose himself in a variety of specifics, but by the end they do add up to a formidable picture, a slice of Indian life in that age.

		Mir Taqi Mir's poetry has always made fascinating reading for me. He wrote short couplets, used simple words but provided extremely sensitive portrayal almost as fragile as glass.
		Creature of the age that he was, and blessed with a daughter, dowry for her marriage was a nagging concern for the penury-stricken poet.
		Mir gifted her all that could be conceived, as much as his savings and borrowings could buy.

		His ghazal were shown to Mir Taqi Mir, the cham of his age, whose contempt for his contemporaries was a byword.
		Mir read the poems and remarked laconically that if a competent mentor could be found to guide the boy, he would become a great poet.
		Perhaps Mir was right, Ghalib found his “mentors” not in any particular person, but in the atmosphere in which he lived.

		Mir Amman is known for his tale Bagh-o-Bahar (The Spring Garden).
		Mir Amman, an employee of the College of Fort William at Calcutta, wrote it at the request of John Gilchrist, the famous scholar.
		Mir Amman's tale is rather a retelling - in simpler and more effective Urdu - of a linguistically more elaborate and difficult Urdu translation of an 18th century Indo-Persian tale whose author is not known.

		Mir Anis has drawn upon the vocabulary of Arabic, Persian, Urdu/Hindi/Awadhi in such a good measure that he symbolizes the full spectrum of the cultural mosaic that Urdu has come to be.
		Mir Anis deserves the honour for he is easily the fourth most important poet of Urdu from the standpoint of Urdu’s linguistic development — Nazeer, Mir Taqi Mir, Ghalib and Wajid Ali Shah.
		Mir Anis, not many of us realize, was an active advocate of sectarian and communal amity and that’s the reason, perhaps, that his Marsias always touched us.

		Bulleh Shah (1680-1758) and Mir Taqi Mir (1723-1810) shared the same time and space - eighteenth century Northern India - and were amongst the major poets of their respective languages.
		The literary fortunes of Mir Taqi Mir and Bulleh Shah symbolize the far-reaching consequences of the British Government's educational policies in Punjab.
		Mir Taqi Mir's poetry, riding the wave of mass literacy, not only became a household name among the Urdu speaking populace but also crossed the linguistic boundaries over to the Punjab.

		He spent his early childhood under the care and companionship of his father, whose constant emphasis on the importance of love and the value of continence and compassion in life went a long way in moulding his personality as a poet.
		Acknowledged as one of the leaders of Urdu shayari by names like Ghalib, Mir Taqi Mir's poetry carried a sense of pathos for which he often met with criticism.
		He lived at a time when Urdu poetry was yet at a formative stage - with its linguistic content being reformed and purged of native crudities, and its texture being enriched with borrowings from Persian imagery and idiom.

		In this monograph, Mir is presented as a poet next only to Ghalib and Iqbal in Urdu literature; whereas both of the latter have received a surfeit of critical studies, Mir has almost been neglected.
		This book, from the pen of a professor of English, is meant for the general reader who is not much acquainted with Mir in particular and Urdu literature in general.
		Ish Kumar, who has taught English literature for more than forty years, he tried to evaluate Mir more from the western than the eastern canons of literary criticism, which he believes, are a little different from each other in some respects.

		Ghazal is more suited to express the complexities of the modern age than nazm and Mir Taqi Mir, by virtue of being more ancient, may be appreciated more by the present generation as compared to Ghalib who is some sixty years closer to our times.
		Josh, who is known for his rhythm, melody and a kind of grandeur, loses some of his originality when we discover these very qualities treated to a greater perfection in the poetry of Q’ani.
		Just as he chooses Mir to depict the sentiment of the present age, he points out ghazal as the genre which is best suited to express the problems of the contemporary words…

		Bekhud Mohani compares this verse to one of Mir's great masterpieces, a verse so brilliant, mysterious, and full of mood that it does put this particular verse into the shade.
		The second line of Mir's verse is as good as it gets in Urdu ghazal; I'd rank it right up there with the second line of {18,3}.
		Unlike Mir's 'mood' verse, Ghalib's is based partly on wordplay: the idea of 'in [our] eyesight',

	History of Urdu poetry
		Delhi emerged as another significant centre with Mirza Mohammad Rafi Sauda (1713-80), Khwaja Mir Dard (1721-85), Mir Taqi Mir (1722-1810), Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib (1797-1869) and Nawab Mirza Khan Dagh (1831-1905).
		These literary capitals, where the classical tradition developed, had their individual stylistic and thematic identities, but broadly it may be said that the ghazal (love lyric) reached its zenith with Mir and Ghalib, qasida (panegyric) with Sauda, mathnawi (romance) with Mir Hasan and marthiya (elegy) with Anis and Dabir.
		They looked back at their won masters-- Mir and Ghalib-- and fared forward to Eliot and Empson.

		Mir Taqi Mir and Khvajah Mir 'Dard' well expressed the themes of lamentation, sadness at heart, alienation from the world.
		Ghalib, on some occasions, followed excellently in their footsteps--but he was a lover of 'meaning-creation', and he gave more attention to Persian, so that in Urdu, the number of his more or less [ghaliban] unblemished verses has not turned out to be more than one or two hundred.
		For this reason we can say that Mir 'Anis' and Mirza 'Dabir' are the termination of the Urdu poets.
