Diwan-e-Ghalib is a collection of the Ghazals of Ghalib
Diwan-e-Ghalib is a famous poetry book written by the famous Persian and Urdu poet Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib. It is a collection of the Ghazals of Ghalib.[1] Though it does not include all his Ghazals as he was too choosy to include all of his Ghazals, still in many other copies of diwan e Ghalib the Urdu scholars have tried to collect all his precious works. It is the only book written by Ghalib. A lot of authentic copies of diwan e ghalib exist like Nuskha e Nizami, Nuskha e Arshi, Nuskha e Hamidiya (Bhopal), Nuskha az Ghulam rasool Mehr.[2]
