Before his time, the language known as Hindavi, Dehlavi, Dakhini, Lahori or Rekhta was commonly known as the Zaban-i-Ordu,[4] and commonly in local literature and speech, Lashkari Zaban or Lashkari.[5] Mashafi was the first person to simply shorten the latter name to Urdu.[6] He migrated to Lucknow during the reign of Asaf-ud-Daula. According to one source, his ghazals are full of pathos.[7]

There are ten extant collections of his poems, but it is believed that he allowed others for a fee to publish his poems under their own authorship.[8] His personal life lacked discipline and his poetry reflects a level of sensuality.[9] He excelled in lyrics but also composed odes and romances.[10]
