Abstract

The tradition of Ghalib Shanasi ( Ghalib Cognizance ) is as old as the literary work of Ghalib itself. Ghalib has left behind himself a highly esteemed literary work of Persian poetry and prose. But despite that the tradition of Ghalib Shanasi ( Cognizance of Ghalib ) among the literary scholars of Persia started too late, near about, in 1950. Though Ghalib was appreciated in Persian literary intellectuals but this appreciation is not sufficient as compare to the discernment of Ghalib among the literary craftsmen of Urdu. Therefore, paradoxically, Ghalib felt pride in expressing himself in Persian and he thought himself as the literary figure of that language. Among the Persian literary figures, thesis of Dr. Muhammad Muqaddam Alvi, Dr. Shafei Kadkani, Professor Estelami, Dr. Raza Mustafa and Yahya Taliban regarding Ghalib Shanasi (Cognizance of Ghalib). The research work and criticism of Muhammad Hassan Jairi, Sayed Ghulam Akbar Naqvi and Muhammad Ali Farjaad etc., regarding Ghalib Shanasi ( Ghalib cognizance ) are worthy to be acknowledged. Though they compensate Persian's lack of Ghalib Shanasi (Ghalib Cognizance), yet more is required to be done.
