  • Abstract:
  • This research aims to explore the sorrow and grief reflected in the poetry of the renowned Urdu poet Mir Taqi Mir (1722-1810), specifically about the second half of the eighteenth-century Delhi. By intensively studying his verses in the light of established historical sources, the paper also connects the socio-political turmoil of the time to his melancholic expressions, showing how the changing fortunes of the city are mirrored in his poetry. His prolonged stay in Delhi allowed him to intimately document the city's decline, from the fall of the Mughal Empire to widespread economic hardships. His poetry reflects the political unrest, shifting social dynamics, and the collapse of patronage systems. The research also touches on Mir’s first-hand experiences of invasions and court politics, including incidents like Emperor Ahmad Shah’s blinding.
