Mirza Ghalib Rest in Peace Place
“Mirza Ghalib” is one of India’s most popular poets in Urdu and Farsi (Persian). The Tomb of Ghalib is next to Hazrat Nizamuddin’s Mazaar old Delhi. The tomb is made of white marble. The location is rather squalid, though. The tomb complex is usually kept locked; apparently for the purpose of safety.
The inscription on the tombstone is in Persian .
Two Famous Couplets of Ustaad

Hue Marke hum jo ruswa, hue kyoun na gark –e- dariya
Na kabhi Janaza Uthta, nahin mazar hota.

Hain Aur bhi Duniya mein sukhanwar, bahut achchhe,
Par kahtein hai ki ghalib ka hai andaze bayan kuchh aur.

Ghalib Academy is situated opposite the Qawwali hall of the holy shrine of Hazrat Khwaja Nizam Uddin Aulia near the mausoleum of Ghalib, in the bustling by-lane of Nizamuddin. This place is also a stone’s throw from the tombs of two celebrated poets Amir Khusro and Abdur Rahim Khan Khanan. Built in the architectural style contemporaneous to Ghalib, the Academy’s building has ornamental canopies and embellishments with delicate lattice work along with modern adaptations in order to meet the requirements of the present day. Set in the midst of historical residuum, the place breathes the bewitching grace resembling the times and life of Ghalib. The Academy was established on the death centenary of Ghalib in 1969. It was inaugurated by another Ghalib fan and a man with a name in the world of Letters, President Zakir Hussain. The Academy was equipped with an auditorium, museum and a conscientiously built library, to serve as a melting-pot for all research and discourse on Ghalib and his times.
