SynopsisMir Muhammad Taqi Mir (1723-1810) is the author of six collections of Urdu poetry and widely regarded as the finest ghazal poet in that language. However, he also wrote one volume of verse and three prose works in Persian, including Zikr-e Mir , or Remembrances, a rare and remarkable example of Indo-Persian autobiography.
