Always in progress: "A Desertful of Roses: the Urdu Ghazals of Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib." This is an extensive historical and critical commentary on the whole Urdu Divan-e Ghalib. It's by far the biggest piece of academic work I've ever undertaken. I'm creating it as an *online project*, but I plan eventually to publish parts of it in book form as well.

Always in progress: "A Garden of Kashmir: the Ghazals of Mir Muhammad Taqi Mir." This is a commentary on selected verses (chosen and annotated by S. R. Faruqi) from the work of the other great Urdu classical ghazal poet; the work also provides two kinds of indexing for the whole huge kulliyat. It's an *online project* that is now well under way.

In progress: Two volumes for the Murty Classical Library of India, under the editorship of Sheldon Pollock:
