Love Sonnets of Ghalib

Mirza Ghalib is to the Urdu language what William Shakespeare is to the English language. And the most widely read Urdu book in the world is a collection of the love sonnets of Ghalib. These sonnets resonate with the voices of maestros through the corridors of history. Ghalib is not just an Asian phenomenon and his sonnets are loved and studied worldwide. Ranking with the likes of Omar Khayyam and Rumi, his sonnets promise to win the hearts of millions, and because of their reflections associated with love and loving they are, and always will be, universal. Now, for the first time, the complete collection of the love sonnets of Ghalib has been translated into English by Dr. Sarfaraz K. Niazi. Artistic renditions by Asia's most famous artist, Sadequain, beautifully depict the themes and aura of some of these timeless verses.
