In 1914, at the beginning of World War I, his family became refugees and fled to Amûdê near the city of Qamişlo in present-day north-eastern Syria.

In the same year, he became the secretary of "Civata Azadî û Yekîtiya Kurd" (Kurdish Freedom and Union Front).

After the collapse of Şêx Seîd's rebellion, he became a member of the "Xoybûn" (Independence) party, which was established by the exiled Kurdish intellectuals in Syria.

Following the Sheikh Said rebellion, he started contributing to the Kurdish journal Hawar by publishing poems.

In his poems, he sharply criticizes the backward feudal and religious establishments which were considered the main reason for the Kurdish workers' and peasants' miserable living conditions.

He also maintained that these backward forces are the main obstacle to ultimate Kurdish freedom and independence.

He took good care of the old heritage of classical Kurdish poets like Jaziri and Ehmedê Xanî.
