Ghalib, the Indian Beloved

With an arcing and emphatic beauty, Ghalib, the Indian Beloved by Khalid Hameed Shaida is a starry-eyed collection of one hundred and twenty-four translated odes by Ghalib.

Preserving the pulse of Eastern poetry, translator and interpreter, Khalid Hameed Shaida offers readers romance in this fourth English translation. Changing gears to tacle a relatively modern Indian poet, Shaida helps Ghalib again show the world what it is to love fully, completely and arguably, eternally.

Indian born translator Khalid Hameed Shaida earned medical degree from Pakistan and practiced medicine in both Canada and the United States. He has translated the great Persian masters, Khusro, Hafiz, Ghalib, and Iqbal in his mother tongue of Urdu with a number of publications and reprints to his credit in Pakistan. In English he has translated the poems of Hafiz, Khusro, and Ghalib. Currently he and his wife live a quite life in Friendswood, Texas
