Interpretations of Mirza Ghalib's works have been changing with the times. Romantics, classicists, progressives, and modernists, all have found evidence in his writings that appeared close to their viewpoints. This work studies the ingenious poetics of Ghalib by tracing the roots of his creative consciousness and enigmatic thought in Buddhist dialectical philosophy, in particular in Nagarjuna's concept ofshunyata(emptiness or voidness). The author also underscores the importance of the Sabke Hindi tradition, that is, the Indian style of Mughal Persian poetry with indigenized poetics, especially through Abdul-Qadir Bedil, whom Ghalib considered his mentor. He contends that Ghalib reinvented and polished this tradition deploying the dialectical mode and the language of silence he mastered through his understanding of the ancient philosophy of India under the influence of his mentor Bedil of the Sabke Hindi tradition. Creativity is a complex matter where nothing is cut numerically to the preconceived notions. The charm of love poetry of Ghalib comes from his complexity and ingenuity. This has been established through the study in this book that makes it exciting and revealing. Gopi Chand Narang engages with Ghalib criticism that has flourished since his death and analyses the important works of the poet, including pieces from earlyNuskhas andDivan-e Ghalib, using this central argument.

This imaginative approach to the work of the Urdu poet Ghalib (1797-1869) presents highly original renderings, made by seven well-known American poets, of Ghalib's ghazals. The ghazals (poems consisting of at least five unrelated couplets) show a time when old values were breaking down withno new ones to take their place.Aijaz Ahmad began by selecting thirty-seven of the ghazals for literal translation. These versions were then given to the American poets who made poetic interpretations of those ghazals which interested them. The resulting variety of interpretation is remarkable, and indicates the evocativeness ofGhalib's poetry.The complete volume, which offers a fascinating insight into poetic creation as well as the work of this unfamiliar poet, consists of Aijaz Ahmad's introduction to Ghalib poetry, the ghazals in Urdu, the literal versions, with explanatory notes and the poems written by the American poets in responseto the ghazals.

Ghalib is an astonishing poet from India, perhaps the most important poet since Kabir. In The Lightning Should Have Fallen on Ghalib: Selected Poems of Ghalib, poet Robert Bly and Urdu scholar Sunil Dutta collaborate to bring the delicacy and intensity of Ghalib's poetry to readers of English. This collection of thirty ghazals by Ghalib also serves as an introduction to the ghazal, the elegant and amazing poetic form revered for centuries in the Muslim world.Ghalib was unorthodox in many ways: he was a Muslim, but he drank and was fond of gambling. He had a difficult life, full of rejections and excesses; much of his life was spent in Delhi during the British conquest of India. Ghalib's poems often mingle humor and anguish. In "The Clay Cup," he says:I know that Heaven doesn't exist, but the ideaIs one of Ghalib's favorite fantasies.His form and detail are exquisite. Many emotions flood into one poem--he complains, he pokes fun at intellectuals, he grieves over desires--and it is up to the reader to find the thread that holds the couplets together. Ghalib ends "The Road with Thorns" with a charming boast:The lightning that fell on Moses should have fallen on Ghalib.You know we always adjust the amount of the wine to the quality of the drinkerHis work lies in the tradition of Hafiz and Rumi; and yet he manages to join that fervor with a contemporary style. More than one hundred years after Ghalib's death, his ghazals remain indisputably modern, intense, and as fresh as ever.

Ahmed Faraz is considered one of the greatest modern Urdu poets of the last century. Essentially a romantic poet, steeped in classical Persian and Urdu traditions, he combined the sensitivity and lyricism of the great Urdu poet Meer Taqi Meer and the philosophical range and depth of Mirza Ghalib. He is also often compared to Faiz Ahmed Faiz for his simple style of writing because of which he became popular among common readers and connoisseurs of literature. Born on January 14, 1931 in Kohat (Pakistan) in a Pushto-speaking family, Faraz, started his career as a script writer for Radio Pakistan. Later he went into academics and also served as the director-general of the Pakistan Academy of Letters. Because of the long spells of dictatorship in Pakistan, Faraz often resorted to symbolism in his poetry to deliberately create an ambiguity so that his lines could be interpreted differently by different people, and mirrored a new kind of "political sensibility." Though Faraz wrote in Urdu, he did not hesitate from using Hindi words if they served his poetic purpose for he believed, "Hindi is close to Urdu, besides it enriches the language." Despite being known as a progressive poet, Faraz's most famous ghazal is a romantic one, "Ranjish hi sahi dil hii dukhaane ke liye aa." He died from kidney failure in Islamabad on 25 August, 2008. This book offers a selection of the best ghazals of Ahmed Faraz, translated into English by Kuldeep Salil. And to help you enjoy the richness and flavor of Urdu language, the original Urdu ghazals are transliterated and presented both in Roman and Devnagri scr

Who tells the greatest story god or manto? dozakhnama: conversations in hell is an extraordinary novel, a biography of manto and ghalib and a history of indian culture rolled into one. Exhumed from dust, manto's unpublished novel surfaces in lucknow. Is it real or is it a fake? in this dastan, manto and ghalib converse, entwining their lives in shared dreams. The result is an intellectual journey that takes us into the people and events that shape us as a culture. As one writer describes it, i discovered rabisankar bal like a torch in the darkness of the history of this subcontinent. This is the real story of two centuries of our own country. Rabisankar bal's audacious novel, told by reflections in a mirror and forged in the fires of hell, is both an oral tale and a shield against oblivion. An echo of distant screams. Inscribed by the devil's quill, dozakhnama is an outstanding performance of subterranean memory.

Faiz Ahmed Faiz is the most contemporary Urdu poet of the twentieth century who appeals to both the common man as well as the elite connoisseurs of poetry. In the matter of style Faiz can be called the inheritor of the tradition of Ghalib because of his style of writing gazals, which reflect a strong influence of the Persian style and diction. At the same time several of his poems are written in simple conversational style dealing with the problems of the common man. Faiz's poetry portrays peoples' lives, their hopes and aspirations, their heartbreaks, hardships and frustrations with a rare elegance and beauty. Faiz was a committed poet who regarded poetry as a vehicle of serious thought rather than just a pleasurable pastime and often used his poetry to champion the cause of socialist humanism. This book offers a selection of the best of Faiz's gazals and poems along with their English translations as well as transliterations so you can enjoy the beauty and richness of the Urdu language as you read the English transliterations while the translation helps you understand the meaning with all its subtle nuances.
