Abstract
Mīr Taqī Mīr’s Nikāt al-Shuʿrā is historically considered the first anthologized account of Urdu poets. This ‘tazkirā’ was first published by Anjuman-i Taraqqī-i Urdu Hind with Maulvi Habīb ur Rahmān Khān Shērvānī’s introduction. However there are ambiguities about its year of publication. Later publications, edited by other scholars also present some discrepancies in the number of poets included in the book as well as the number of ashʿār in it. This study tries to explain such ambiguities.
