Syed Wali Mohammad, known as Nazeer Akbarabadi, is the only poet of his kind in Urdu for a variety of reasons. He was born in 1735 in Delhi. There was a huge celebration at his birth, as he was his parents' only male child, born after twelve daughters. He was brought up with great care, and his mother took him to Agra when Delhi fell into bad days. Nazeer received his early education in Agra. He belonged to a prosperous family and led his childhood and early life in comfort. Following the usual practice of the day, he trained himself as a soldier. He was deeply interested in sports also. When it was time to choose a profession to earn a livelihood, he chose to become a teacher and began teaching children in Mathura. It is said that he was a teacher to the six children of Raja Vilas Rao. Later, the raja of Bharatpur and the nawab of Lucknow, Wajid Ali Shah, wanted to enrol him in their courts, but Nazeer did not agree to leave his place. Nazeer was a contemporary of Meer, Sauda, Jurat, Insha, and Mushafi, who stood as the vanguard of classical Urdu poetry, with the ghazal as the most prestigious form of poetic expression. Nazeer opened up entirely new avenues for Urdu poetry as he chose his material from life brilliantly spread all around. There is hardly any aspect of secular life that did not engage his attention. He wrote poems on all religious festivals, communal events, carnivals, sports, hobbies, and scenes and scenarios of common life, which none had done before him. He evolved a diction that was entirely new for the kind of poems he wrote. There is a general misconception that Nazeer wrote only on folk life and its various manifestations, but he also wrote highly sophisticated, Persianised, and creatively rich ghazals, which place him among the elite poets of Urdu.
