Mir Taqi Mir, whose ghazals `Dikhaai diye yun ke bekhud kiya, hamen aap se bhi juda kar chale and patta patta, boota-boota', found voices in Bollywood films, had moved to Delhi at the age of 11 after his father's death. Often remembered as `Khuda-e-Sukhan' (God of poetry), Mir shifted to the court of Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula in Lucknow, at latter's invitation, after Ahmad Shah Abdali's annual sack of Delhi began in 1748. Mir came to Lucknow in 1782, says Dr Sharib Rudaulvi, a retired professor from Centre of Indian Languages in Jawaharlal Nehru University and author of several articles on Mir Taqi Mir.

Mir commented about himself: `Mir dariya hai, sune sheyr zabaani uski, Allah Allah re tabiyat ki ravani uski.'

He lived in extreme penury in Lucknow and so he died. `Sarhane Mir ke Ahista bolo, abhi tuk rote-rote so gaya'.
Mir certainly deserves more even if it is after 200 years of his death.

LUCKNOW: A grave loss to the culture. The City of Nawabs has lost the grave of famous Urdu poet Mir Taqi Mir, or could not treasure it, so to say. Mystery over Mir's grave continues.

"Baad marne ke meri qabr pe aaya wo `Mir' Yaad aai mere Isa ko dawa mere baad (O Mir, she came to my grave after I died, my god came to my aid after I died)," he had written. May be, only He knows where he rests in peace.

September 21, 2010 happens to be the 200th death anniversary of Mir, one of the pioneers who gave shape to Urdu language. Born in Agra in 1723, Mir breathed his last on September 21, 1810, in Lucknow. It was Friday that day.
