It has been a month since the launch of Andaaz-e-BayaaN Aur on Mirza Ghalib's death anniversary (Feb
15th). Posting the couplets has been an enjoyable experience for me as I have (re)discovered his gems and have
been amazed anew by the poet and the man. I hope you have enjoyed the selections and it has made you want to
read and learn more about this great poet.
