Ghalib is indisputably one of the best poets this region has seen. His work is enchanting to say the least and the flow with which he delivers meanings to human emotions is fantastic. This particular book is a must read for those who wish to understand complex vocabulary made use of in his poetry. Translation and explanation of the sonnets gives meaning to the already beautifully written poetical expressions of emotions.

Cheen Lay Mujh Say Hafiza Mera.........!!!”
“रोने से और इश्क़ में बेबाक हो गये,
धोये गये हम ऐसे कि बस पाक हो गये.
कहता है कौन नाला-ए-बुलबुल को बे-असर,
परदे में गुल कि लाख जिगर चाक हो गये.
करने गये थे उससे तग़ाफ़ुल का हम गिला,
की एक ही निगाह कि बस ख़ाक हो गये.
इस रंग से उठाई कल उसने असद की लाश,
दुश्मन भी जिसको देखके ग़मनाक हो गये.”

धोये गये हम ऐसे कि बस पाक हो गये.
कहता है कौन नाला-ए-बुलबुल को बे-असर,
परदे में गुल कि लाख जिगर चाक हो गये.
करने गये थे उससे तग़ाफ़ुल का हम गिला,
की एक ही निगाह कि बस ख़ाक हो गये.
इस रंग से उठाई कल उसने असद की लाश,
दुश्मन भी जिसको देखके ग़मनाक हो गये.”
