Overview

The finest ghazals of Mir Taqi Mir, the most accomplished of Urdu poets.

The prolific Mir Taqi Mir (1723-1810), widely regarded as the most accomplished poet in Urdu, composed his ghazals–a poetic form of rhyming couplets–in a distinctive Indian style arising from the Persian ghazal tradition.

Ghazals offers a comprehensive collection of Mir’s finest work, translated by a renowned expert on Urdu poetry.
