Every student allotted a house of a rich Muslim that provided breakfast, lunch and dinner to the student of Religious Madrasa. A house was also allotted to Molana Mukhtar Hussain Naazir Alqasimi Bijnori.
At that time, he was 14 years old. When he went to bring a meal from allotted Muslim house, he had to wait for a long time at the gate of allotted house. All that hurts his self-respect, honour and modesty.

As Poet
He wrote poem for Pakistan Movement in this way:
توفیق بخش یارب خدمت کریں وطن کی
ہوں خون سے ہمارے سیرابیاں چمن کی
شائستگی سے اپنی رونق ہو انجمن کی
حرص و طمع اگر ہو ہو صرف علم و فن کی
آذاد ہو خدایا جلدی وطن ہمارا
تیرے سوا ہمارا کوئی نہیں سہارا
Here is another poem showing his love for the country:
رشتہ آداب دنیا کاٹ کر مردانہ وار
سونت کر تلوار دوہری ہو کے گھوڑے پر سوار
حریت کا جھنڈا لہرا کر فضا میں استوار
ٹوڈیوں کے خون سے رنگ لوں تیغِ آبدار
پرورش اس سے ہوں پھر پودے چمن کے واسطے
مر مٹوں میں خدمتِ دین وطن کے واسطے
