Which Urdu poet wrote during revolt of 1857?

While many Urdu poets lived during the 1857 Revolt, it's difficult to definitively say who *wrote* specifically *during* the fighting itself, as opposed to writing about it later. However, Mirza Ghalib is the most prominent Urdu poet associated with that period. He lived through the revolt in Delhi and his poetry reflects the atmosphere and consequences of the events, even though we don't have poems written in the thick of battle itself.
