Mirza Ghalib birth anniversary: 20 couplets by Mughal-era Urdu poet

-

The birth anniversary of the brilliant poet Mirza Asadullah Baig Khan, also known by his pen name “Ghalib”, is marked on 27 December each year. He remains a celebrated and revered poet not just in India, but across the whole world. Mirza Ghalib was born in 1797 in Agra’s Kala Mahal, which was then under Mughal rule. Ghalib used to write in Urdu and Persian languages. However, he is remembered for his couplets or shayaris that he had written in Urdu. It is believed that Ghalib begun writing poetry when he was 11 years old. He was also appointed as the tutor of Bahadur Shah Zafar II and later, his eldest son Prince Fakhr-ud Din Mirza.

Ghalib used to write about everything under the sun, ranging from romance to the events unfolding around him. In 1850, the last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar gave him the title of “Dabir-ul-Mulk”, which is similar to nobility.

Here are 20 famous couplets written by the Mughal era Urdu poet:

  • Dil-e-naadaan tujhe huaa kya hai? Aakhir iss dard kee dawa kya hai?
  • Ishq ne Ghalib nikamma kar diya… Varna ham bhi aadmi the kaam ke.
  • Aage aati thi hal-e-dil pe hansi… Ab kisi baat par nahi aati.
  • Aah ko chaahiye ik ‘umr asar hone tak…Kaun jeeta hai teri zulf ke sar hone tak.
  • Ishq se tabiyat ne zeest ka maza paaya…Dard ki dawa payee dard be dawa paaya.
  • Yeh na thi hamari qismat ke visaal-e-yaar hota…Agar aur jeete rehte yehi intezaar rehta.
  • Aashiqi sabr-talab aur tamanna betaab….Dil kaa kyaa rang karoon khoon-e jigar hone tak.
  • Ishq par zor nahin hai ye woh aatish, ‘Ghalib’….Jo lagaaye na lage, aur bujhaaye na bane.
  • Hamko unse wafa ki hai ummeed…Jo naheen jaante wafa kya hai.
  • Unke dekhne se jo aa jaati hai muh par raunaq….woh samajhte hai ke beemaar ka haal achchha hai.
  • Dil hii to hai na sang-o-Khisht dard se bhar na aaye kyun.…Roenge ham hazaar baar koii hamen sataaye kyun.
  • Mohabbat mein nahi hai farq jeene aur marne ka….Usi ko dekh kar jeetey hain jis kaafir pe dam nikle.
  • Ishrat-e-qatra hai dariyā meñ fanā ho jaanā….Dard kā had se guzarnā hai davā ho jaanā.
  • Jī dhūñdtā hai phir vahī fursat ki raat din….baithe raheñ tasavvur-e-jānāñ kiye hue.
  • Kitne shīrīñ haiñ tere lab ki raqīb….gāliyāñ khā ke be-mazā na huā.
  • āshiq huuñ pa māshūq-farebī hai mirā kaam….majnūñ ko burā kahtī hai lailā mire aage.
  • Aage aatī thī hāl-e-dil pe hañsī….ab kisī baat par nahīñ aatī.
  • Na thā kuchh to ḳhudā thā kuchh na hotā to ḳhudā hotā….Duboyā mujh ko hone ne na hotā maiñ to kyā hotā.
  • be-ḳhudī be-sabab nahīñ ‘ġhālib’….kuchh to hai jis kī parda-dārī hai.
  • haiñ aur bhī duniyā meñ suḳhan-var bahut achchhe…. kahte haiñ ki ‘ġhālib’ kā hai andāz-e-bayāñ aur.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
