He wrote essays and Urdu poetry, including an introductory book to the Diwan-e-Ghalib, titled Mahasin-i-Kalam-i-Ghalib which became one of his prominent writings,[2] and Maqalat-i-Bijnori – a magnum opus book consisting of essays, poems and letters written by him to his parents when he was studying in Europe. Some of his writings include predictions about Turkey's decline and its impact on the Muslim world. He also predicted 20th century's rise of Europe and its influence.
He was born in Seohara, a town in the present-day District Bijnor on 10 June 1885 in an aristocratic family.[3] His father was given the title of Khan Bahadur by the government and his family traced its lineage to Hasan Zinjani, a scholar-official originally from Zinjan who accompanied Babur as he conquered the areas in doab region. A learned family having towering religious scholars like Maulana Hifzur Rahman Seoharvi who served as the member of the constituent assembly, literary critics, poets, authors and high ranking officials, his family members held high posts in Bijnor and Delhi. Bijnori received his early schooling in Balochistan and later went to Quetta, where he did his matriculation. He later obtained BA and LLB degrees from Aligarh Muslim University. He then went to London and obtained a law degree from Lincoln's Inn and then to Germany, where he obtained a doctorate from the University of Freiburg.[4]
He was posted at Bijnor and then at Moradabad magistrate before he moved to Quetta, where he died.[contradictory]
