NEW DELHI: A documentary on the life and times of the renowned 19th century Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib will be the showpiece event of a two-day cultural festival at the India Islamic Cultural Centre on April 26 and 27.

The opening day marks the screening of the film, Yadgar-e- Ghalib, by well-known Kathak dancer Uma Sharma. The film includes old recitations of Ghalib's couplets by eminent poets of the past such as Sardar Jafri, Kaifi Azmi and Ahmed Faraz ( Pakistan).

The screening will be followed by Nrityabhaav, a dance-drama based on Ghalib's couplets by Sharma and her group. The verses have been specially selected to bring out the universal appeal of his thought over life, death and love.

According to Sharma, the couplets are specially chosen from Ghalib's later work. "He was essentially a romantic poet who spent his last days in stark poverty and hardships. Hence the dancers will capture three moods: the remorseful, the lonely and the philosophical Ghalib," says Sharma, founder of Ghalib Memorial Movement (GMM) that organises the event in collaboration with ICCR and Delhi government. The evening will end with ghazals by Ustad Moin Khan from Mumbai.

A mushaira in Mughaliya andaz (style) will be held on April 27. Hindi poets Uday Pratap Singh and Laxmi Shanker Vajpayee are the mushaira's highlight. Others to read out their couplets include Munnawar Rana, Wasim Barelvi, Nawaz Deobandi, Rahat Indori, Sharaf Nanparvi, Kursheed Haider, Aizaz Merut Popularly, Manzar Bhopali, Salim Sidiqui, Anwar Jalalpuri and Shahid Anjum.

The GMM wanted to hold the function in February (Ghalib died on Feb 15) but lack of funds led to the delay, says Sharma.
