Ghalib
Mirza Beg Asadullah Khan (1797–1869), also known as Mirza Ghalib, was an Urdu poet from Indian subcontinent. He was popularly known by the pen names Ghalib and Asad. His honorific was Dabir-ul-Mulk, Najm-ud-Daula. During his lifetime, the already declining Mughal Empire was eclipsed and displaced by the British East India Company rule and finally deposed following the defeat of the Indian Rebellion of 1857; these are described through his work.
