Abstract
"Molana Altaf Husain Hali is a prominent figure of Urdu prose in colonial era. His book "Hayat-e-Sadi" is commonly considered as biography but infact it's a book of applied criticism because Hali described biographical aspects very shortly and most part of this book is consist of applied criticism on poetry and prose of Sadi. This book was written before "Muqadima-e-Sher-o-Shairy" and "Yadgar-e-Ghalib". Molana Hali has discussed many critical points in "Hayat-e-Sadi" that has been made a base for new ideologies which he presented in "Muqadima-e-Sher-o-Shairy". There is also its historical importance that it is starting a point of applied criticism in Urdu literature."
