"یادوں کی بارات" (The Procession of Memories) is the celebrated autobiography of Josh Malihabadi, a towering figure in Urdu literature, often referred to as 'Shair-e-Inqilab' (Poet of Revolution). This seminal work provides an intimate and vivid account of his life, his poetic journey, and the socio-political landscape he witnessed. It is highly regarded for its candidness and literary prowess, making it a cornerstone of Urdu autobiographical writing. Allama Iqbal, while an immensely influential poet and philosopher, is known for his philosophical and nationalistic poetry, not this specific autobiography. Similarly, Mirza Ghalib, a legendary classical poet, predates Josh Malihabadi and is famous for his ghazals. Therefore, the correct attribution for "یادوں کی بارات" is unequivocally to Josh Malihabadi, solidifying his legacy.

Genetic Blueprint: DNA contains the unique biological codes used to synthesize proteins, direct cellular processes, and pass hereditary traits from parents to offspring across generations.
Incorrect Options:
