'''Ghubar-e-Khatir''' ("The Dust of Memories"), (Urdu: غبار خاطر) is one of the most important works of Maulana [[Abul Kalam Azad]], written primarily during 1942 to 1946 when he was imprisoned in [[Ahmednagar Fort]] in [[Maharashtra]] by the [[British Raj]] while he was in Bombay (now [[Mumbai]]) to preside over the meeting of All India Congress Working Committee.<ref></ref> It was translated as ''Sallies of Mind'' in English.<ref></ref>
The book is a collection of 24 letters he wrote addressing his close friend Maulana Habibur Rahman Khan Sherwani. These letters were never sent because there was no permission for that during Azad's imprisonment and after his release in 1946, he gave all these letters to his friend [[Hakim Ajmal Khan]] who published them for the first time in 1946.

Although the book is a collection of letters, all but one or two letters are unique and most of the letters deal with complex issues such as existence of God, the origin of religions, the origin of music and its place in religion, and other topics.
The book is primarily in [[Urdu]] but there are over five hundred couplets, mostly in [[Persian language|Persian]] and [[Arabic]]. This is because Azad was born in a family where [[Arabic]] and [[Persian language|Persian]] were used more frequently than [[Urdu]]. He was born in [[Mecca]], given formal education in [[Persian language|Persian]] and [[Arabic]] languages but was never taught [[Urdu]].
