THE SEEING EYE
SELECTIONS FROM THE URDU AND PERSIAN GHAZALS OF GHALIB
This book presents a comprehensive selection of the poetry of Ghalib (1797-1869). The preface details the main themes of his verse, some of which need explanation to a modern English reader. The book presents his poetry with the English translation on the left-hand page opposite the Urdu and Persian original. The title is taken from one of Ghalib's own verses:
"Unless the sea within the drop, the whole within the part
Appear, you play like children; you still lack the seeing eye".
