His poem "Doğu'nun Sultanları", published in the magazine "Edebiyat-ı Umumiye", was his first work that helped him gain a place in the literary circle.

He collected the poems he wrote with Aruz in his books "Doğu'nun Sultanları" in 1918, "Dinle Neyden" and "Gönülden Gönüle" in 1919.

The famous poem "Sanat", which brought brand new views, is considered the first conscious declaration of patriotic poetry.

He is known for his successful similes, such as in his poem "Yolcu ile Arabacı", where he likens the passenger to the soul and the coachman to the body.

In addition to poetry, he also wrote plays in which he dealt with the love of homeland and nation or focused on social realities.

The lyrics, which he wrote together with his student Behçet Kemal from Kayseri High School in 1933, were composed by Cemal Reşit Rey and the work won the anthem competition organized for the 10th anniversary celebrations of the Republic of Turkey.
