Mir's poetry is part of our course till 12th class (if I remember it correctly).

Famously arrogant Mir Taqi Mir, the poet who called his peers insects - The Express Tribune

Quote:

Mir Taqi Mir was born at Agra in 1723. He spent his early childhood under the care and companionship of his father, whose constant emphasis on the importance of love and the value of continence and compassion in life went a long way in moulding the character of the poet, and this became the chief thematic strand of his poetry.
Mir is one of the immortals among Urdu poets. He is a perfect artist of the ghazal, which makes its peculiar appeal through compression, suggestion, imagery and musicality. He builds his poetry on the foundations of his personal experience. His favourite theme is love - love unfulfilled - and his favourite manner is conversational. Mir lived at a time when Urdu poetry was yet at a formative stage - its language was getting reformed and purged of native crudities, and its texture was being enriched with borrowings from Persian imagery and idiom. Aided by his aesthetic instincts, Mir struck a fine balance between the old and the new, the indigenous and the imported elements. Knowing that Urdu is essentially an Indian language, he retained the best in native Hindi speech and leavened it with a sprinkling of Persian diction and phraseology, so as to create a poetic language at once simple, natural and elegant, acceptable alike to the elite and the common folk. Consequently he has developed a style which has been the envy of all succeeding poets...
It is a commonplace of criticism that Mir is a poet of pathos and melancholy moods. His pathos, it should be remembered, is compounded of personal and public causes. His life was a long struggle against unfavourable circumstances...
Mir was a prolific writier. His complete works, Kulliaat, consist of 6 dewans, containing 13,585 couplets comprising all kinds of poetic forms: ghazal, masnavi, qasida, rubai, mustezaad, satire, etc.

... He died in Lucknow on 20 September 1810.

The question you should be asking is how does @Psychic know about it? Mostly, all fundoz have skewed sexual preferences..... therefore analogy dictates............

Mir Taqqi Mir was a fag? GTFO ..

 

[Psychic]

Haha, they teach us his poetry in O Level Urdu.

Do read what is not taught in textbooks. His poetry is full of praises for boys.

Mir Taqqi Mir was a fag? GTFO ..

Apparently many of his ghazals prove my point. Do take a look at what is not taught to you in text books.
Another one - Faraq Gorakh puri's son committed suicide do you know why? Because his father was the lover of his best friend.

He was gay?

Yes

mir taqi mir was a homosexual rapist? i thought he was a poet?
also are you mad?

Poets are without sexual organs or are they unable to commit any crime like our army?

Don't watch it...? simple as that

I won't watch but does that take away my right to post? Think about that it's simple as that.

The question you should be asking is how does

It's well documented. Evidence lies in some of his own work apart from what everyone from his time knew about him. Denying that fact is the same as denying that Ghalib was a drinker.

Mostly, all fundoz have skewed sexual preferences.

How do you know about that?
Blame fundos, jihadists, Islamists and madrassahs for Mir being a homosexual.
