Khwaja Mir Dard


Khwaja Mir Dard (Urdu: خواجہ میر درد‎) was born in 1721 and died in 1785. He is one of the three major poets of the Delhi School — the other two being Mir Taqi Mir and Mirza Sauda — who are considered the pillars of the classical Urdu ghazal.

Dard's Persian prose works are extensive, consisting of the Ilm ul Kitab, a 600+ page metaphysical work on the philosophy of the Muhammadi path, and the Chahar Risalat, collections of more than a thousand mystical aphorisms and sayings. [1]

Example work:

دوستو! دیکھا تماشا یاں کا بس

tum raho ab hum to apne ghar chale

Or as translated into English:

You stay on to enjoy them; we are ready to go home.
