    1857 was an armed uprising in British India against the British colonial rule and

    was also popularly remembered as the 'First War of Independence'. This was a
    turning point in his life because he was an eye-witness to the catastrophe. Hali
    drifted from job to job for several years, arriving eventually in Lahore, where he
    came to be a personal servant of Chayanne Mehdi in the mid-1870s, where he began to
    compose his epic poem, the Musaddas e-Madd o-Jazr e-Islam ("An elegiac poem on the
    Ebb and Tide of Islam"), at the request of Syed Ahmed Khan, under the new pseudonym
    of Hali ("The Contemporary").[2][not in citation given] Hali also wrote one of the
    earliest works of literary criticism in Urdu, Muqaddamah-i Shay'r-o-Sha'iri. "Above
    all, its critical Preface 'the Muqaddima-i-Sher-o-Shairi' gave a new and purposeful
    trend to Urdu poetry and led the way to literary criticism in Urdu literature."[4]
    Some scholars of Pakistani nationalism also consider the Mussadas an important text
    for the articulation of a future Muslim nation, Pakistan, which eventually was
    created in 1947.[5]
