To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In it the Mohamedan intellect of India has reached its highest fruition, its grandest height. Sawda and Mir Taqi, Mir Hassan and Mir Soz, Atash and Nasikh, Zauq and Ghalib will stand comparison with the greatest poets of any age or any nation. In their works we cannot fail to notice the sublimest heights of poetic imagina- tion, the most placid, imperturbable philosophy of life, the struggle of high souls with the uglier realities of life, the laughter and tears of humanity, the power of soothi...ng and healing afflicted hearts. They make us see and feel and know what life is. They lift us from our dead-selves to higher things ; the true province, the essential duty of a poet. But have we now got any one to compare with them ? Has the spring of the Mohamedan intellect passed and gone, gone irrevocably, irredeemably ? Is Urdu literature, now, doomed to sterility ? I cannot take such a pessimistic view of things. It was only in 1 869 that one of the greatest of our poets and prose writers Ghalib was laid to rest.
