  Ghalib ghazal - intro
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.

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 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.

Mirza Asadullah Beg Khan -- known to posterity as Ghalib, a `nom de plume' he adopted in the tradition of all classical Urdu poets, was born in the city of Agra, of parents with Turkish aristocratic ancestry, probably on December 27th, 1797.
As Imtiyaz Ali Arshi has shown (at least to my satisfaction), whenever Ghalib feared the intimate, anti-British contents of his letters might not remain private, he requested their destruction, as he did in the case of the Nawab of Rampur.
During the revolt itself, Ghalib remained pretty much confined to his house, undoubtedly frightened by the wholesale massacres in the city.

 Byjameela Siddiqi: "Mirza Ghalib: The "Godless" Lover"
Ghalib had had three titles of distinction bestowed on him: Najmuddawia ('Star of the Realm'), Dahirul-Mulk ('Honor of the Country') and Nizam Jang ('Hero of War'), but none of these accolades were any compensation for the fact that his poetic genius and greatness had never been truly appreciated in his lifetime.
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.
