Mir

This tome provides a thorough exploration of Mir's life and artistry, illuminating his crucial contribution to the evolution of Urdu poetry during its nascent stages in the 17th and 18th centuries. It meticulously analyzes his prowess across a variety of poetic structures, including masnavis and marsias, while scrutinizing his lasting legacy within Urdu literature. Essential for enthusiasts of Urdu poetry and devotees of literary heritage, this book solidifies Mir Taqi Mir's prominence as a radiant luminary within the pantheon of Urdu letters.
