Nuskha-e-Hamidiya is an early nineteenth-century manuscript of the diwan (collected poetry) of Ghalib, one of the greatest Urdu poets and letter writer. The manuscript was copied in 1821 CE (1237 AH) and later housed in the Hamidiya Library, Bhopal, from which it derives its name. It is one of the earliest evidences to Ghalib's poetry and documents a larger collection of verses than the standard printed editions of his dīwān. It has been a central source for understanding the evolution of his corpus.
