Abstract

There are many versions and texts of Ghalib's divan. Numerous manuscripts of Ghalib's divan have been discovered. Among them, a manuscript, handwritten in 1821, was housed at Bhopal's Hameediya Library. Abdus Salam Nadvi, a scholar working on the history of Urdu literature, had discovered this rare manuscript and it was named Nuskha-e-Hameediya (the Hameediya manuscript). Mufti Anwaar-ul-Haq edited and published it in 1921. Later, Prof Hameed Ahmed Khan collated the original manuscript with the edited and published version and found some discrepancies. The manuscript, however, was reported lost and remained lost until rediscovered in 2015 by Shahab Sattar and Mehr Afshan Farooqi. This paper narrates the story of disappearance and rediscovery with details. It also discusses some of the discrepancies found in the published version and the newly-rediscovered manuscript.
