From 1962 to 1966, he was involved in his co-founded Society for the Revival of Kurdish National Resources[a], an underground literary and artistic organization which published resistance works[b] which were distributed hand-by-hand.

In March 1963, he started participating in political activities and engaged in clandestine struggle which resulted in his being imprisoned, tortured and exiled multiple times.

Merwani translated both eastern and western resistance poetry to Kurdish language, including the works of Mayakovsky, Darwīsh, Neruda, Éluard and Yesenin.

For 12 years, he presented several readings, literary and cultural lectures, and critical gatherings in cities such as Slemani, Hawler, Duhok and Baghdad.

After several years of publishing political plays, poems, and essays, the Ba'athist dictator regime arrested and executed him on 13 March 1989.
