Biography
Biography
He then did not get any formal education. He spent time at an English medium school and left in the seminary. He was naturally interested in knowledge and literature. Thus, in pursuit of personal efforts and studies, he had achieved very well-earned knowledge. Study had created a great light inside him, under which he started writing poetry and meeting poets, but officially he began to show his poetry to Munshi Jalilullah Wajd Bulgarami to correct his poetry. Even he used to show his poetry to Munshi Amirullah for correction and improvement from him. However, when balance and fluidity was created in his poetry, he stopped the studentship from them. In the same period, he had also joined an Urdu magazine "Hindustani", and he was associated with this magazine as the editor for many years.
