Wali Mohammed Wali (also known as Wali Deccani) was born in 1667 in 

Aurangabad, Maharashtra. He loved travelling, which he regarded as a means of 

education. His visit to Delhi in 1700 is considered to be of great significance 

for Urdu Gazals. His simple, sensuous and melodious poems in Urdu, awakened the 

Persian loving poets of Delhi to the beauty and capability of “Rekhta” (the old 

name for Urdu) as a medium of poetic expression. His visit thus stimulated the 

growth 

and development of Urdu Gazal in Delhi.

Mirza Asad Ullah Khan Ghalib Biography

Mirza Asadullah Beg — known to posterity as Ghalib, a nom de plume he adopted 

in the tradition of all classical Urdu poets, was born in the city of Agra, of 

parents with Turkish aristocratic ancestry, on December 27th, 1797. As to the 

precise date, Imtiyaz Ali Arshi has conjectured, on the basis of Ghalib’s 

horoscope, that the poet might have been born a month later, in January 1798. 

When he was only five years old, his father, Abdullah Beg Khan died in a battle 

while working under Rao Raja Bakhtwar Singh of Alwar and his uncle Nasrullah Beg 

Khan took charge of him. But he lost his uncle also at the tender age of 

eight.

Khawaja 

Mir Dard Biography

Khwaja Mir Dard (Urdu: ????? ??? ???) (b. 1721? d. 1785) is one of the three 

major poets of the Delhi School the other two being Mir Taqi Mir and Sauda who 

could be called the pillars of the classical Urdu ghazal.

Philosophy

Dard was first and foremost a mystic, a 

prominent member of the Naqshbandi Mujaddidi order, and the head of the 

Muhammadi path (tariqah muhammadiyah, a Mujaddidi offshoot) in Delhi. He 

regarded the phenomenal world as a veil of the eternal Reality, and this life as 

a term of exile from our real home. Dard inherited his mystical temperament from 

his father, Khwaja Muhammad Nasir Andalib, who was a mystic saint and a poet, 

and the founder of the Muhammadi path.

Education

Dard received his education in an informal way 

at home, and in the company of the learned, acquiring in due course a command of 

Arabic and Persian, as also of Sufi lore. He also developed a deep love of 

music, possibly, through his association with singers and qawaals who frequented 

his father’s house. He renounced earthly pleasures at the young age of 28, and 

led a life of piety and humility.

Josh 

Malih abadi Biography

Josh Malihabadi was born as Shabbir Hasan Khan on 5th December, 1898 at 

Malihabad. He did his senior Cambridge from St. Peter’s College, Agra in 1914. 

In 1918, he spent about six months at Shantiniketan. He studied Arabic and 

Persian. Due to the death of his father, Bashir Ahmed Khan, in 1916, Josh was 

unable to avail of a college education.

In 1925, Josh started work at the Osmania University, supervising translation 

work. He was exiled from the state of Hyderabad for writing a nazm against the 

Nizam. He then started the newsletter/magazine called the ‘Kaleem’ in which he 

openly wrote articles in favour of independence and against the British. Soon, 

he was being called “shaayar-e-inquilaab”. He also got actively involved in the 

freedom struggle and became close to quite a few of the political leaders of 

that era, specially Jawahar Lal Nehru.

Ali Sikandar ‘Jigar Muradabadi’ has a special place in the history of Urdu 

poetry. A flamboyant and cavalier poet, he set many poetic meetings on fire with 

his style of recitation and rindana verses. He was born in Moradabad in 1890, 

(18901960) as “Ali Sikandar”. The Mughal royalty in Delhi employed his ancestral 

family and late in 18th century, it moved to Azampur and Moradabad. Jigar had 

traditional education in Arabic and Farsi. He didn’t really have a teacher or 

ustad and showed one ghazal to Dagh Dehlvi. But Dagh died on February 10, 1905. 

At this time Jigar was only 15 years old and had just begun to write poetry. 

Mazhar Jaleel ‘Shauq Bachrayuni’ a schoolmate of Jigar says in his book 

‘Yadgar-e-Jigar’: “together we would consult Munshi Hayat Baksh ‘Rasa Rampuri’ 

for correcting our poetry who later became his ustad”.

Javed Akhtar,born January 17, 1945, is an Urdu and Hindi (Hindustani) poet, 

lyricist and scriptwriter from India. Some of his most successful work was done 

in the late 1970s and 1980s with Salim Khan as half of the script-writing duo 

credited as Salim-Javed.

Javed Akhtar was born on January 17, 1945 in Gwalior State (now Gwalior, 

Madhya Pradesh) to Jan Nisar Akhtar, a Bollywood film songwriter and Urdu poet, 

and Safia Akhtar, a teacher and writer. His lineage can be traced back to seven 

generations of writers. The highly respected Urdu poet Majaz was his maternal 

uncle and the works of his grandfather, Muzter Khairabadi, are looked upon as a 

milestone in Urdu poetry. Akhtar has one sibling; his younger brother is 

renowned psychoanalyst Salman Akhtar.

After his birth, his parents moved to Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, and later to 

Aligarh. Young Javed Akhtar lost his mother at a tender age and his father 

frequently moved back and forth between Lucknow and Bombay, so he and his 

brother spent most of their time with relatives. At the age of eight, he was 

admitted to the sixth class in a well-known school of Lucknow, the Colvin 

Taluqdars’ College. From Lucknow he moved to Aligarh to live with his maternal 

aunt. He took admission in a well known school of Aligarh, the Minto Circle. The 

school is part of famous Aligarh Muslim University.

eik aag ka dariyaa hai aur doob ke jaana hai

Translation: Love is like an ocean of fire and the lover must drown to cross 

through it.
