Mirza Galib

[taqdeer.786]

Mirza Asadullah Khan "Ghalib" is one of the best of the Urdu poets. He led a revolution in Urdu poetry with his words.
According to the critic Aal Ahemd Sarvar "Ghalib gave brain to our poetry which was till then dominated by the people of heart."
Ghalib used to have takhallus (pen name) of 'Asad' but he listened to this sher


Asad us jafaa par butoN say wafaa ki
me-ray sher shabaash rahmat kHuda ki He said whose sher is this should get lots of rahmat of God but if it is mine then lots of laanat on me, and he
changed his takhallus to 'ghalib'


But Ghalib's sher not only have immediate effect on the heart but it makes you think too.

aah ko chahiye aik umr asar ho-nay tak
kaun jeeta hai teri zulf kay sar ho-nay tak.

hum nay mana keH tagHaful naH karo-gay lekin
kHaak ho jaaayeN-gay tum ko kHabar ho-nay tak. daame hur mauj meiN hai hulqa-e-sad kaam nihaNg
dekheiN kya guz-ray hai qat-ray peH guhar ho-nay tak.
