[citation needed] Kazi Zainul Abedin acquired his basic education in Arabic, Persian and English, following the Dars-i-Nizami.

[3] He was the first person in the entire family to have ever learnt the English language, which was considered a great asset in India which was then governed by the British.

[2] During his time, there was a general opposition against learning the English language in the literary circles of the Muslims of Hyderabad.

With the loss of Hyderabad State to Indian forces in 1948, he had to abandon his position along with his vast land holdings and move to Pakistan.

The government of Pakistan partly compensated him out of the evacuee properties left behind by those Hindus who had migrated to India.

He spent the rest of his years at Mirpurkhas in developing agricultural farms and social work in that area.

[citation needed] Since his children were young, Kazi Zainul Abedin decided to get married again.

He was famous for using the Arabic letters that had a numerical value to determine an actual date through names and poetic couplets.

Kazi Zainul Abedin has authored a number of articles and books on poetry, literature, history, religion, and ethics.
