New Delhi: Google on Wednesday honored the celebrated Urdu and Persian poet in the Mughal rule, Mirza Ghalib, with a sober but sill fine-looking doodle to mark his 220th birth anniversary.

 Mirza Ghalib Born as Mirza Asadullah Baig Khan on December 27, 1791, Ghalib took his step to compose Urdu couplets at the age of 11. 

Even though Urdu was his mother as well as first language, Persian and Turkish were also apparently sounded in Ghalib's home. 

 In English Language, Ghalib means 'the defeater is observed as one of the most well-liked poets of that times, whose work on the Urdu ghazals have earned renowned standing. 

The famous post was married on December 13, as per the rituals and culture of the time. Following this, he settled in Delhi. 

The Google Doodle's official homepage is narrating the great efforts of the iconic poet and the influences in his life that patiently marked his work.

"His verse is characterized by a lingering sadness borne of a tumultuous and often tragic life — from being orphaned at an early age, to losing all of his seven children in their infancy, to the political upheaval that surrounded the fall of the Mughal rule in India. He struggled financially, never holding a regular paying job but instead depending on patronage from royalty and more affluent friends,” But despite these hardships, Ghalib navigated his circumstances with wit, intellect, and an all-encompassing love for life. His contributions to Urdu poetry and prose were not fully appreciated in his lifetime, but his legacy has come to be widely celebrated, most particularly for his mastery of the Urdu ghazal (amatory poem)."

Ghalib has been regarded as one of the last great poets of India from the Mughal period whose work has been translated into several languages from corner to corner of the world.

He died in Delhi on February 15, 1869, and the house where he had stayed during his lifetime, has been converted to a Ghalib Memorial or 'Ghalib ki Haveli'.
