They have more humor than the satire. In 1942 his first book “Kirnay” was published. “Shagofy”, “Lahray”, Maddojazar, “Hamaqaty” and “Pachtaway” appeared one after the other at intervals throughout the year, due to which his fame increased. His travelogue “Dajla” has a unique status in the modern travelogues of Urdu literature. His military service provided him an opportunity to work with the British, Australian, New Zealandian, American, Chinese, Iraq and other nations so as to observe their culture and customs.
