His academic journey, from early education to a Ph.D. in Urdu, was completed at Aligarh Muslim University.
He is recognized as a poet, fiction writer, and critic, excelling in multiple literary domains. Alongside his literary contributions, he also hosts Urdu poetry symposiums (Mushaira) and participates in religious gatherings (Majlis) as a Zakir. His works reflect depth and diversity, evident in his five published books—Rang Khushbu Saba, Mom Ki Ladki, Sahifa-e-Naqd, Sahifa-e-Nazar, and Sahifa-e-Fun (2025).
