There are English Translations of Urdu Poems by Mirza Ghalib
Mirza Ghalib (1797-1869) is considered to be one of the best Urdu poets of all time, if not THE best. The last great poet of the Mughal Empire, Ghalib was a master of the sher (couplet) and the ghazal (a lyric poem formed from couplets). Urdu/Hindi shayari (poetry) is notable for its highly romantic images, evocative metaphors, emotional content, depth of feeling, transcendence, and sheer passion! Ghalib remains popular in India, Pakistan, and among the Hindustani diaspora. He also wrote poetry in Persian.
Every wave conceals monsters,
and yet teardrops become pearls.
—Mirza Ghalib, loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
