Muhammad Tahir Ghani (Author)
Muhammad Tahir Ghani (d. 1669), better known as Ghani Kashmiri, is arguably the greatest Persian poet of Kashmir and one of its literary and cultural icons. Highly popular in India and the larger Persianspeaking world up to the modern times, he influenced many generations of Persian and Urdu poets in India. Ghani’s forte lies in his remarkable
use of language to create poems with multiple layers of meaning. This, along with his versatility in creating delightful metaphors and images, makes him one of the few medieval poets with a striking appeal to the modern reader.
