For guidance and reformation in poetry, he chose to be a student of his real uncle, Munshi Raj Bahadur Barak Dehlvi.
He worked with the monthly "Aaj Kal," the daily "Tej," and the American Reporter in Urdu as a hobby and pastime.
[6] Throughout his life, he was dedicated to the promotion of the Urdu language and served it without seeking reward or praise.
[7][8] Not only did he contribute significantly as a poet, increasing the poetic capital of the Urdu language, but he also organized annual mushairas for twelve years in memory of his teacher, Munshi Barak Dehlvi, thereby setting a historical precedent for Urdu poetry in Delhi.
There is hardly any notable poet or writer in India who has not participated in these mushairas or who has not presented a paper on Munshi Barak Dehlvi.
