Ghalib is widely celebrated for his Urdu ghazals, but what many don’t realize is that his literary mastery extends far beyond Urdu. This course invites you to explore that lesser-known yet equally profound side of Ghalib.
The course begins with an engaging look at Ghalib’s life, the challenges he faced, and the experiences that shaped his poetic vision. You’ll also discover the early influences that helped him evolve into a powerful voice in both Urdu and Persian. As the course progresses, you’ll be introduced to the major themes, ideas, and motifs that define his Persian verse. Through close readings and explanation of selected ghazals, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how Ghalib’s Persian poetry differs in tone, structure, and creative ambition from his Urdu works.
Whether you’re encountering Ghalib’s Persian poetry for the first time or revisiting it after a while, this course offers a compelling window into the world of one of the greatest poetic minds of all time.

Thanks to Rekhta for creating the Rasmul-Khat course, as I’m now able to read my favourite poets’ works in the Urdu script itself, which feels so rewarding. It is a great pleasure to be able to read Urdu in its original form.
