His approach is up to all those feelings and emotions of Indian Muslims, which irony and satire in his poetry as a weapon to discover the hidden continents of Indian Muslims and physical self. His mystic approach in his poetry makes him Sufi poet and lover of Islamic philosophy. He presents his views in poetry through different symbols. Especially the symbols of "Sheikh" and "Sharab" are very meaningful in his poetry. "Sheikh" is the symbol of Indian Muslim's hipocracy while "Sharab" means "Sharab-e-Toheed", Muslim faith, Islamic civilization and love of Allah Almighty. Western "Sharab" means Western Civilization, culture and materialism.
