Urdu Poetry began in Mughal Empire periods, Mirza Asad Ullah Khan Ghalib (مِرزااسَدُاللہ بیگ خان) well-known as Mirza Ghalib born in Hindustan (27 December 1797 – 15 February 1869) was a prominent Urdu and Persian-language poet during the last years of the Mughal Empire period. He is known as a father of Urdu Poetry because he contributes very deep love ghazals in Urdu and Persian language. 
Mirza Ghalib was born in Kala Mahal, Agra into a family descended from Aibak Turks who moved to Samarkand(in modern-day Uzbekistan) after the downfall of the Seljuk kings. His paternal grandfather, Mirza Qoqan Baig, was a Saljuq Turk who had immigrated to India from Samarkand during the reign of Ahmad Shah (1748–54). 
He worked at Lahore, Delhi and Jaipur, was awarded the subdistrict of Pahasu (Bulandshahr, UP) and finally settled in Agra, UP, India. He had four sons and three daughters. Mirza Abdullah Baig and Mirza Nasrullah Baig were two of his sons. (Source Wikipedia)
