Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
The Surprises In Ghalib

Reading the literal versions of Ghalib that Sunil Dutta and I began working on, it was clear to me that some fresh substance was appearing that I hadn't experienced before. For years, I have been fond of Kabir's delight in God and the soul:

Inside this clay jug there are canyons and pine mountains, and the maker of
canyons and pine mountains!
All seven oceans are inside, and hundreds of millions
of stars....

If you want the truth, I will tell you the truth:
Friend, listen: the God whom I love is inside.

(Translated by Robert Bly)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Ghalib was a renowned Urdu and Persian poet. Much of his life was spent in Delhi and he bore witness to the British conquest of the city in 1857. Ghalib wrote in the tradition of Hafiz and Rumi, but his poetry is distinctive: his spiritual struggles and the stark honesty with which he writes, speaks to a universal audience. The Lightening Should Have Fallen on Ghalib: Selected Poems of Ghalib is a collection of thirty ghazals, translated into English by Robert Bly and Sunil Dutta. This book demonstrates Ghalib's complete mastery of an elegant poetic form revered for centuries in the Muslim world. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9788171675760
