انتخابِ کلامِ میر

By میر تقی میر

Mir Taqi Mir (1723–1810) is the eighteenth-century poet of Delhi and Lucknow whom Urdu readers have long ranked among the greatest writers of the ghazal; he also wrote masnavis, marsiyas and qasidas. This book is a selection, not the complete diwan: it holds only the verse that volunteers have so far typed on Urdu Wikisource, 581 poems in all (343 ghazals, 36 masnavis, 19 qitas, 105 quatrains, 34 marsiyas, 8 qasidas, 7 salams, 15 manqabats, 14 poems of other forms). This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
