Mir Muhammad Taqi Mir, widely considered the preeminent poet in the Urdu language, left an indelible mark on the literary landscape with his extraordinary talent. Born in 1723 and passing away in 1810, Mir's literary journey unfolded during the flourishing era of Urdu literature in Delhi and Lucknow. His prolific output, consisting of six divans, showcased his unparalleled poetic prowess.
Selected Ghazals and Other Poems presents a comprehensive anthology of Mir's finest ghazals, extended lyrics composed of couplets, and his masnavis, narrative works of a romantic or didactic nature. These ghazals celebrate earthly and mystical love, employing subtle wordplay, vivid descriptions of the beloved, and a powerful individual voice. At the same time, the masnavis delve into everyday subjects, such as domestic pets, monsoon rains, and the challenges of travel. Among these, two remarkable love stories stand out: one depicting the tragic consequences of a marriage that tears apart a young couple, and the other recounting the tale of a queen, her loyal peacock lover, and the jealous king who endeavors to drive them apart.
The Urdu text presented here, crafted in the Nastaliq script, accompanies fresh translations of Mir's poems, offering readers a glimpse into his lyrical genius for the first time in English. This collection serves as a testament to Mir's enduring legacy and his profound contribution to Urdu literature, resonating with audiences worldwide.
