A tribute to Mirza Ghalib

रगों में दौड़ते फिरने के हम नहीं क़ायल
जब आँख ही से न टपका तो फिर लहू क्या है

The Bhawanipur Educational Society College organized an event ‘Puchte Ho ki Ghalib kaun hai?’ in association with Bharatiya Bhasa Parishad which took place on April 26, 2022, at the College Library from 10:30 am onwards. There were over 50+ students who came to be a part of the event.
