I wonder why he gave up his religion...Mir Taqi Mir,<br />I wonder why he gave up his religion.Whenever someone abandons their religion because something that happened in their life,to me it just does not sound right.When something bad happens in life,I feel one must hold on to their religion and pray to God.I am a great believer about praying.I know it always works.<br />By the way the Urdu couplets in Persian script is great.I can read it all.<br />I wonder if my message is clear!chamannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751964279420308191.post-50761495092038810772009-07-01T22:04:56.320+06:002009-07-01T22:04:56.320+06:00Rehan, thanks. There is also a concise book about ...Rehan, thanks. There is also a concise book about Mir in English by the leading Mauritian critic Inayatullah Eiden published from India, as I discovered recently to my great joy (frankly I am quite impressed by Mr. Eiden's approach), but a full-length biography is much needed. Good to know that you are working on it.Khurram Ali Shafiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15329916182280619617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751964279420308191.post-58172339667724983342009-07-01T21:55:22.820+06:002009-07-01T21:55:22.820+06:00I am authoring the first English biography of Mir....I am authoring the first English biography of Mir. Thanks for this enlightening blog. It's one of the best things I've read on him in a long time. Short, concise, readable and meaningful.Most people do not understand his poetry or ideals, he was misunderstood in his own life and wrote about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
