He was born as Mirza Asadullah Beg Khan in 1797 in Agra, once the capital of Mughal rulers. He moved as a teenager to Delhi, where his poetic talent blossomed in the court of Bahadur Shah Zafar, Mughal emperor at the time.

Ghalib, the last great poet of the Mughal Era, is considered to be one of the most popular and influential poets of Urdu and Persian language. Today Ghalib remains popular not only in India and Pakistan but also among the Hindustani diaspora around the world.

He died in Delhi in 1869, leaving behind a rich legacy of poetry that continues to inspire. His Shayari (poetry) is so popular that people often used to quote them in their daily life.
