"Ghalib's Mansion") was the residence of the 19th century Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib and is now a heritage site[2] located in the Gali Qasim Jan, Ballimaran, Old Delhi and reflects the period when the Mughal era was on the decline in India.
The house was given to him by Hakim, a physician who is believed was an enthusiast of his poetry. After the poet's death in 1869, Hakim used to sit there every evening, not allowing anyone enter the building.[3]
اگ رہا ہے در و دیوار سے سبزہ غاؔلب ہم بیاباں میں ہیں اور گھر میں بہار آئی ہے
Transliteration (ALA-LC): Ug rahā hai dar-o-dīvār se sabza 'ġhālib', Ham bayābāñ meñ haiñ aur ghar meñ bahār aa.ī hai.[4]
It is roughly translated into English as:
"Greenery is growing out of the doors and walls, 'Ghalib'!
I am in wilderness and spring has arrived at my house."
