A poet of sorrow.
A master of words.
A voice that echoes across centuries.

Ghalib by M. Mujeeb offers a thoughtful and engaging study of Mirza Ghalib, one of the greatest poets of Urdu and Persian literature. Published by Sahitya Akademi, this volume presents both the personal journey and literary brilliance of the iconic poet.

The book traces Ghalib’s life during a turbulent period in Indian history, particularly the decline of the Mughal Empire and the Revolt of 1857. Through historical insight and literary analysis, M. Mujeeb highlights how Ghalib’s poetry reflected existential thought, mysticism, irony, and the complexities of human emotion.
