Trend setter classical poet who helped establish Urdu ghazal in Delhi by inspiring poets to write in Urdu. He travelled to the far ends of the south and the north, including Delhi. Vali lived in a time of political and social turmoil but sought his sustenance from the larger mystic traditions of India. He considered literature as a way of negotiating between the physical and the spiritual. The figure of the lover in his poetry represents both the worlds of the sensual and the non-sensual. Even though well versed in the Persian literary tradition and the Deccani and Hindi phraseology, Vali surprised the literary circle in Delhi with his non-Persianised Urdu divaan and its linguistic freshness, which till then was called rekhta, a language of the lesser literary kind, not quite fit for sober poetic expression. His choice for the plebeian idiom and his effort to blend it with other linguistic and literary traditions of the north and the south altered the stereotypical notions of those who championed the purity of language, as a necessary condition for serious literary expression.
