The finest ghazals of Mir Taqi Mir, the most accomplished of Urdu poets.Mir Muhammad Taqi Mir (17231810) is widely regarded as the most accomplished poet in the Urdu language. His massive outputsix divanswas produced in Delhi and Lucknow during the high tide of Urdu literary culture.Selected Ghazals and Other Poems offers a comprehensive collection of Mirs finest ghazals, extended lyrics composed of couplets, and of his masnavis, narrative works of a romantic or didactic character. The ghazals celebrate earthly and mystical love through subtle wordplay, vivid descriptions of the beloved, and a powerful individual voice. The sometimes satirical masnavis highlight everyday subjects: domestic pets, monsoon rains, the rigors of travel. They also include two astonishing love stories: one about young men whose relationship is shattered when one marries; the other about a queen, her peacock lover, and the jealous king who seeks to drive them apart.The Urdu text, presented here in the Nastaliq script, accompanies new translations of Mirs poems, some appearing in English for the first time.
