Mir Taqi Mir (1723–1810), widely regarded as the most accomplished Urdu poet, composed his ghazals in a distinctive Indian style arising from the Persian tradition. Here, the lover and beloved live in a world of extremes: the outsider is the hero and death is preferred to the beloved’s indifference. Ghazals offers a collection of Mir’s finest work.
