Musaddas is special form of
Musaddas is special form of poetry presentation in which each unit consists of 6 lines-sestain- (misra). Famous early writers employing this form are Mir Anis and Dabeer. Maulana Altaf Husain Hali and Waheed Akhtar are other well-known poets to find expression in this form of poetry. Particularly iconic is Hali's Madd-o-Jazr-e-Islam as an exemplary of this form. The original Epic "Musaddas-e-Haali" contained about 293 musaddas (units or verses) or about 900 couplets or "Sheirs". The Musaddas addition of Zamima has 161 units or 480 couplets and the Arze hall also has 63 verses. Haali described in poetic details about the rise and fall of Islam and link it with the actual behavior or causes of the moral values and decline in political power.
Altaf Hussain Hali (1837--1914) was an Urdu poet, prose-writer, critic, teacher and reformer and writer. Hali's Musaddas occupies a prominent place in the history of Urdu literature. He was a close friend of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. Haali 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 Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, under the new pseudonym of Hali ("The Contemporary"). The Musaddas, or Musaddas-e-Haali, as it is often known, was published in 1879 to critical acclaim and heralded the modern age of Urdu poetry. Haali also wrote one of the earliest works of literary criticism in Urdu, Muqaddamah-i Shay'r-o-Sha'iri. Musaddas e-madd o-Jazr e-Islam describes the rise and fall of the Islamic empire in the sub-continent. It speaks about the Islamic empire at its best and worst and aims to forewarn the Muslims of the sub-continent, make them more aware of their past and help them learn from their forefathers' mistakes.
Hali has also written biographies of Ghalib (Yaadgar-e Ghlaib), Saadi Shirazi (Hyat-e Saadi), and Sir Syed Ahmed Khan (Hyat-e Jawed). His poem "Barkha Rut," describes the beauties of nature in the rainy season. "Hub-e-Watan," underscores the virtues of patriotism. "Bewa ki Manajaat" focuses on the plight of widows in Indian society.
Regarding Musaddas-e-Hali, Sir Syed said: "If God will ask me that what have I achieved in life then I will say that I've achieved The Mussadas written by Hali."
