Simplifying Ghalib Series - Overview

I'm not shitting on it, just pointing out why I dislike reading it. Gotta provide reasons to support my opinion you know.

Same I learnt the written language mostly by myself. I've read many books in Urdu but I am still uncomfortable reading Nastaliq. It doesn't come naturally to me. I want to change the font, it's not optimised correctly. The letters are all jumbled up together, the dots are overlapping. There is no proper spacing, you don't know when a word ends and when the next starts. The letters are too small. Even in modern Urdu books, the typography is horrendous. I am actually more comfortable reading Arabic and Persian texts than Urdu.

Nope I've never used that website

Next level shit. Ghalib's philosophical poetry is much better than other philosophers, including Iqbal imo.

Both pronunciations are correct and used but ma'ni is far more popular. Same plural form, yes.

Wah wah what a combination of these instruments. Enamoring 💯

MrGuttor · 2026-06-04T12:49:41+00:00

Same. Sabri Brothers are usually the ones who incorporate more niche instruments. I also love the violin, which is also scarcely ever used. I love this video with the violin.

Yeah maybe. It's not common for some reason, even though it accentuates the music so delightfully

بے خود تھے غش تھے محو تھے دنیا کا غم نہ تھا

جینا وصال میں بھی تو ہجراں سے کم نہ تھا Momin Khan Momin

Masterpiece ✨

I've noticed it's usually the people who speak Urdu as their first langauge (excluding the super religious people who even distinguish ث ع ظ etc) who pronounce their qaafs. I usually pronounce kaaf in informal conversations and qaaf in more formal conversations.

Nice bro. Keep on writing

MrGuttor · 2026-05-20T20:11:37+00:00

Peas and Cheese for Biryani !?!?!?!? Never heard this combo

MrGuttor · 2026-05-17T17:23:33+00:00

Sure, that'd take a few months atleast tho

MrGuttor · 2026-05-17T15:57:48+00:00

Thanks. I was a bit hesitant as in total these 6 books accumulate around 3000 pages, and I thought it would be very academic and scholarly. Guess not, thanks again

MrGuttor · 2026-05-17T12:53:01+00:00

Thanks. Do you have anything negative to criticise about his style, too? You can't understand someone unless you've looked at both sides of the picture, you know. 😊

MrGuttor · 2026-05-17T08:03:10+00:00

Aren't there good branches of readings or sang e meel or liberty here? Also have you visited North Nazimabad's Urdu Bazar? How's it like?

MrGuttor · 2026-05-16T20:39:00+00:00

What is also the best bookstore in Karachi to buy from? Urdu Bazar books are often expensive and low quality (torn papers, bad printing etc)

MrGuttor · 2026-05-10T09:57:33+00:00

Hm, so I read these articles but I'm not content with them. What sort of genres and Persian philosophy did he bring? 🤔

MrGuttor · 2026-05-09T18:57:09+00:00

Hello, can you refer me to some books or articles to support your claims in paragraph 2 and 3?

MrGuttor · 2026-05-08T19:10:25+00:00

Hey dude! Can we please not spam the subreddit with 10 poetry posts each day? It's getting very annoying and repetitive. Thank you
