Wali Ahmed Wali (Wali Dakkani) Biography
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.

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

Emperor and the Mutiny
Emperor Bahadur Shah II presided
over a Mughal empire that stretched barely beyond the modern city of Delhi. The
Sikh Empire in the Punjab and Kashmir, the Maratha Empire, and the British
Empire were the dominant political and military powers in 19th-century India.
Hundreds of minor kings fragmented the land. The emperor was paid some respect
and allowed a pension and authority to collect some taxes, and maintain a token
force in Delhi by the British, but he posed no threat to any power in India.
Bahadur Shah II himself did not excel in statecraft or possess any imperial
ambitions.
