Ghalib
This doyen of urdu poetry
No less a Persian votary
Unique his simile’n metaphor
His lyric ‘n ode so spectacular
Stanzas’n meters sparkling
Limericks pleasantly startling
Sorrow and joy interspersed
This maestro so well-versed
His humour so one of a kind
Enthrals both heart and mind
Teacher to the king he was
A poet laureate with a cause
An epistle is half a meeting
When life is far and fleeting
