Urdu poem taqat king fall6/24/2023 Why the hell don't people write so well, compose so well, and sing so well now?Ī plus point of this collection is that it has a poem-by-poem glossary of the Farsi words used, now unintelligible to most of us. Kaun jeeta hai teri zulf ke sar hone tak." कहते हैं के ग़ालिब का है अंदाज़-ए-बयाँ औरĬlub reading his poetry with Gulzar's beautiful teleseries on Ghalib's life, Naseeruddin Shah capturing Ghalib amazingly well in the role - and Jagjit Singh's mellifluous voice rendering the heart-rending lines of my favorite Ghalib-ghazal ever. Ghalib's own words sum up better his place in history than any reviewer can ever hope to. Devoid of melodrama, he is still capable of making the reader pine - and ah, so flawless his execution, so heart-rending his poetry! Ghalib's sensual poetry made sharper by wit and peppered by sarcasm make it a memorable, cherished read. One of my favorite poets ever, and a treasured Urdu collection since long. ENGLISH TITLE: DIVAN-E-GHALIB (The World of Ghalib)
