вЂќ Har ek baat pe kahate ho tum ki tuu kyaa hai So impressed was Zauq by it that even he joined in on the praise being showered on Ghalib. He is said to have composed one of his most popular ghazals on the spot and recited it to thundering applause. Legend has it that knowing GhalibвЂ™s poetic prowess, Zauq did not accept this at face value and asked the Emperor to insist on hearing the entire ghazalвЂ¦Д«oth underestimated GhalibвЂ™s genius. Otherwise what other claim to respect does Ghalib have?вЂќ вЂњHaving become the KingвЂ™s companion he shows off arrogantly Wagar na sheher mein Ghalib ki aabroo kya haiвЂќ вЂњHuwa hai sheh ka musaahib, phirey hai itraata The haazir jawaab poet immediately turned it on himself and recited: Bahadur Shah Zafar obviously asked Ghalib to recite the entire verse. He said it was the first line (misra) of the last couplet (maqta) of his latest Ghazal. Ghalib confessed that yes he had said the line but it was not aimed at Zauq вЂ“ In the next mushaira at the Qila e Moalla (The Red Fort) the Emperor took Ghalib to task. Zauq overheard it as he was probably meant to and made a strong complaint to the Emperor. вЂќ Huwa hai shah ka musaahib, phirey hai itraataвЂќ Once in the lanes of Shahjahanabad he saw Zauq passing by and in an aside to his proteges and hangers on he said Mirza Ghalib felt that his entry into the favours of the Emperor was being impeded by Zauq and this was a bone of contention for him. Is one of his most famous and oft-quoted verses. вЂњlaayii hayaat aaye, qazaa le chalii chaleДЄpnii khushii na aaye na apnii khushii chaleвЂќ He was an accomplished poet with complete mastery over Urdu and Persian but wrote in very simple terms, easily understood by all. Sheikh Ibrahim Zauq ( 1789вЂ“1854) was ZafarвЂ™s ustad ( mentor) and enjoyed the position a poet Laureate would. The poets flourishing under Zafar were the calibre of Sheikh Ibrahim Zauq, Mirza Ghalib, Momin Khan Momin, Shefta, Azurda and Zafar himself. The court of Bahadur Shah II, himself an accomplished poet who wrote under the nom de plume or takhallus of Zafar, was home to some of the brightest talent to grace the world of poetry. On hearing the news Zafar reacted with shocked silence while his wife Zeenat Mahal was content as she believed her son was now Zafar's heir.In the reign of Bahadur Shah II ( 1837 to 1857) while the flame of thr Mughal dynasty was flickering, the shama (lamp) of Urdu poetry was burning brightly. The next day British officer William Hodson shot his sons Mirza Mughal, Mirza Khizr Sultan, and grandson Mirza Abu Bakr under his own authority at the Khooni Darwaza (the bloody gate) near Delhi Gate. British forces led by Major William Hodson surrounded the tomb and compelled his surrender on 20 September 1857.

Zafar Mahal Closely woven into the history of the last remains of Mughal rule is the history of Zafar Mahal in Mehrauli, a locality of Delhi. His poetry is filled with grief and pain which one can feel by reading it. Many of his ghazals are available with us today, however, a good portion of his poetry is said to be lost.

In1857 Bahadur Shah Zafar had warned the Indian people against this policy of the British. The court that he maintained, although somewhat decadent and arguably pretentious for someone who was effectively a pensioner of the British East India Company, was home to several Urdu writers of high standing, including Ghalib, Dagh, Mumin, and Zauq (Dhawq). While some part of his opus was lost or destroyed during the Indian Rebellion of 1857-1858, a large collection did survive, and was later compiled into the Kulliyyat-i Zafar.
