He's the Sultan of Shayari - Ghalib
My father used to often quote this to me, the second line - Ghalib is a philosopher, poet, our Leonardo Da Vinci. The great poet, Mirzā Asadullāh Ḳhān (1797-1869), who used the pen name “Ġhālib” (Victorious), is now universally recognized as either the first or second greatest classical ghazal poet of Urdu; his reputation is rivaled only by that of Mīr Taqī “Mīr” (c. 1722-1810).
