Mirza Ghalib's Movie

For those who don't know, Mirza Asadullah Baig Khan was a renowned classical Urdu and Persian poet of the subcontinent. Most notably, he wrote several ghazals during his life, which have since been interpreted and sung in many different ways by different people. He is considered to be the most dominating poet of the Urdu language.

For Ghalib's fans, I found a complete movie on him with beautiful ghazals at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMb9quUSAls&feature=related

Also, it is worth visiting his page on wikipedia

About 37 poems (Ghazals) translated to English can be found here http://www.yagmin.com/ghalib/joy.cgi
