The Hidden Garden: Mir Taqi Mir

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Mir Taqi Mir , known as the God of Urdu Poesy , is widely admired for his poetic genius. He was the first major poet to demonstrate the hidden beauty and grandeur of the Urdu language, a great gift of India’s cultural fusion.
From the raw Braj vernacular in Agra to the sophistication of Indianized Persian in Delhi and the mellow sweetness of Awadhi in Lucknow, Mir covered the whole spectrum. Mir took the half-baked Rekhta of the mid-eighteenth century to new heights, and with this, he reached the pinnacle of literary Urdu’s poetic and creative journey. Besides a comprehensive literary analysis of Mir’s unusual mellowness and natural flow, the book contains a substantial selection of his most memorable ghazals. This book will be read and re-read by lovers of poetry and Urdu for the beauty of Mir’s verse.
