“Mirza Ghalib” (1954) is a movie based on the life of Mirza Ghalib, one of the foremost shayars of Urdu language who was long dead and gone by the time this movie (or for that matter Hindi movie industry itself) came into existence. This movie is one of the rare movies, where the lyrics were written by the person on whose life the movie was based, and lyrics were written almost one century before the movie was made.

Today few people know about the existence of this movie and its songs. When I was growing up as a pre teen kid in late 1960s and early 1970s, information about this movie was readily available but I never bothered to look that up. after all I was a pre teen kid, who was only interested in the new songs and new movies, not old ones like this.
