He was given shelter during the rule of Jang Bahadur Ranain Nepal, against the precious jewels he managed to retain from extraction by the British. He lived in Kathmandu for eighteen years before moving to Kolkata. He was a poet and shayar. He organized many tarahi mahfil e mushairahin Kathmandu which were recorded during the same period by writer Khwaja Naeemudddin Badakhshi.
