    Diwan-e-Ghalib

    دیوانِ غالبDiwan-e-Ghalib

    The published divan of the greatest Urdu ghazal poet, translated in parts for a century and a half by everyone who loved it, and carried here entire.

    The chain

    c. 1816–1841 Urdu original
    1. 2026 Urdu English translation attested

      edited by Adnan Abbasi in New Delhi

      A complete AI-assisted crossing of the published divan that keeps the radif: every couplet of the first ghazal still lands on 'it is not there'. Made for no patron and no market, which chapter eleven of the book calls the fascination clause.
